Give A Little Bit

I'm constantly inundated with charitable requests. It's hard to decide who to give money to, especially when our resources are so limited. I can't just open up my wallet for every organization with it's hand out.

However, a fellow daddy blogger who lives in England has organized a fundraising effort for a charity that I think is worthy of support. Dan, of All That Comes With It, has written a stirring appeal for The Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity set up by friends of his in memory of their son Joseph, who died of a rare form of pneumonia. The Trust is designed to support parents who have lost a child by providing financial assistance to see them through the tough times.

Dan isn't just talking the talk, he's walking the walk. A 78-mile walk, that is. This summer, Dan and nine others will set out on a 6-day journey along the Dales Way in the north of England, all to raise funds and awareness for The Joseph Salmon Trust.

I'd like to challenge all of my readers, especially those in North Idaho and Eastern Washington, to read Dan's appeal, then make a donation of any amount. A dollar, five dollars, ten... A little can go a long way. Let's harness the power of the blogosphere to make a difference in one corner of the world.
