Marrow Trek

So a friend of mine from U of A (who now works in the same lab as my wife) is undertaking a 3,000-mile hike from Mexico to Canada along the continental divide. He and a friend are taking their dogs and 4 months off for the project. It's not all fun and games (and bears, and being overjoyed to see a trash can); they are using this hike as a medium for raising money for bone marrow donor awareness. 3,000 miles and they hope to raise $5 per mile, which, according to my high-power computer, adds up to $15,000. They're up to $4.40 per mile, so they don't have a lot left to collect. Please go visit their website and look around, and consider donating. Good cause!
