Brain tumors took my aunt Carol, Thor Heyerdahl, and Sandy Duncan's eyeball. My dear friend Jessica, who just had her first child last fall, has an inoperable brain tumor. This stinks.

I can't do much, but when Jessica asked if I would join her for the Brain Tumor Walk here in San Francisco on May 2, I said hell yes (I'm still learning to not swear in front of the baby). Of course, the walk is incidental--it's about the fundraising for the researchers who may someday be able to turn inoperable tumors like Jessica's into something treatable.

I've had so many offers over the years for my Mai Tais to be bought for me in thanks for things like Critiki. This is awesome, and I'm so grateful, but I would much rather you donated here instead, 'cause I can buy my own Mai Tais, but I can't make Jessica's tumor go away.

Do it for Thor! Do it for Jessica! Do it for Sandy Duncan's eyeball! Please consider giving a little bit today, if you're able.
