I try not to clog everyone's sidebars with blog posts relating to my other, more personal non-RFGenerations blog...  I figure if you're gonna read it, you've already got it bookmarked, and don't need to hear about it here.  haha

Still, for this one particular post, I figured I'd bring to your attention.  It deals with a subject close to me, which is breast cancer.

I used to run in a NASCAR simulator online league, and made great friends (and fierce competitors) along the way.  One of them was my friend Jared, who now races another game online.

He thought it would be a great idea to try and raise funds for the CIBC's Run for the Cure, which benefits the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.  He's trying a variety of different methods of raising money, and he asked if I could have a shout-out on my blog for him.

I hesitated at first, not knowing how I'd relate to video games (because, after all, that's what my blog is 100% supposed to be about).  Thankfully, I managed to write a lot more than I expected to, and in a round-about way, was still talking about video games!

Check out the blog if you wish, since it's for a great cause.

Also, if his goal is met, Jared will paint his go-kart pink for the final event of his professional karting season.  As someone who used to clash with him on the virtual track on a regular basis, I wouldn't mind seeing this come to fruition. 

Cheers, folks!
