Can you donate today?

This Saturday, September 24, will be the Chicagoland Out of the Darkness Community Walk, sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Now, right now, you can make a difference with your donation - in whatever amount is comfortable for you. But how about doing something? How much do you spend at Starbuck's? How about donating an amount equivalent to what you drink in purchased coffee in a month? Or your smoking habit? Or your Pepsi for a month?

Go to www.outofthedarkness.org

At the top right click to find an event near you; for example, in Illinois. Look for "Chicago Walk", which is September 24.

In the left-side column, scroll down to Participant/Team Search. If you don't know someone with a team, how about donating to the team put together to Rick Kirchhoff? Enter Kirchhoff and click on Search. Let's push Team Reebok 30 over the top. Your donation of $25, $50, $100 (or even $20 or $15 or $5) will help.

Do it now, while you're thinking about it.
