danaeris | In honor of Breast Cancer Month, and my hair

So I chopped my hair off about mid-August (I know, I'm a bad bad girl).

And I found this wonderful leather worker, Sorodz, who lives in Oakland, is a member of Exiles, and will make my hair into a flogger FOR FREE if I donate money to the breast cancer charity of her choice.

I believe that this is incredibly generous of her, and such generosity deserves generosity. For that reason, I'd like to announce

A DONATION MATCHING DRIVE

For every dollar you donate to one of the charities listed below, I will donate a dollar, up to a total of $100 donated by myself. Please contact me to inform me when you have donated cash. Please donate either in my name, or in Sorodz' name, or in the name of a breast cancer survivor/victim you have known.

I'd also like to encourage you all to patronize this wonderful woman's leather working business. Her website can be found at:
http://www.sorodz.com/

Please feel free to post this elsewhere. Nothing would thrill me more than to see this wonderful woman getting the publicity she deserves (but did not seek) through this. Nothing would please me more than to see the charities listed below getting an explosion of donations because of this.

Women's Cancer Resource Center - 510/420-7900 -- www.wcrc.org
They have a library (and helpful librarian) with lots of info on various
types of cancers, lectures, a newsletter, workshops and support groups of
various kinds. They also do direct service for women with cancer, such as
taking them to doctor's appointments, making meals, etc. through volunteers.

Breast Cancer Action -- 415/243-9301 -- www.bcaction.org
An activist organization. Makes links between
corporations/pollution/environmental degradation and breast cancer. They
have various volunteer groups to get involved in that deal with politics,
corporate involvement, media misinformation, letters to editors, working
toward legislation, gathering petition signatures, protesting at drug
conventions for access to treatments, and "marching down streets with our
mastectomy scars visible."
