The time for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event in Boston is right around the corner. On October 4th I will be joining my wife and children to walk along the Charles River in support of the women and men (yes, men can get breast cancer too) who live with, or have died from, breast cancer. This will be my second Making Strides walk, and I am really looking forward to participating.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is your opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and raise funds and awareness to help end this disease. Making Strides is not a race; it is a celebration of survivorship, an occasion to express hope, and a shared goal to end a disease that threatens the lives of so many people we love.
My wife is leading a team of fundraisers with a goal of raising US $2,000 for the American Cancer Society’s efforts to educate about, and eradicate, breast cancer. I will be email everyone on my contact list soon asking for donations for this worthy cause. Please visit my Making Strides profile page and make a donation. It doesn’t matter how much or how little, every dollar raised is one step closer to finding a cure.

I finally got around to renaming the blog to something which better matches the domain upon which it resides. “The Burning Blog” is now known as “The Burnman Experience.” When I first named the blog, I thought incorporating my name with a bit of biblical wordplay would be fun. In truth, I would most likely have kept the blog’s old name had it not been for the BDSM porn site which chose the same name AND purchased the matching domain name. Nobody wants their site confused with another one (unless they are trying to scam people), but I was especially unhappy with being mixed up with that particular site.
And while I will miss the blog’s old name, I must admit that “The Burnman Experience” better suits the place. I suppose referring to my blog as something akin to God speaking through the burning bush may have been a bit conceited anyway.
