Please take time to read this and if possible, sponsor her. It's one of the best birthday presents that I can think of, and so very important.

"The Boston Area Rape Crisis Center's Walk for Change is just a month away!
"This 5K awareness and benefit walk along the Boston and Cambridge banks of the Charles River gets bigger and better every year.
Our 2009 Goals:
* 1,000 walkers
* $100,000 to support BARCC services
* A giant step forward in ending sexual violence
Every dollar you raise brings us one step closer to living in a world without sexual violence."
As many of you know, BARCC is a hugely important part of my world. The work they do is so very needed, and they are so very committed and passionate. BARCC runs mostly on volunteers - over a hundred of us take hotline calls, accompany survivors to the hospital, do legal advocacy, give survivor speeches, and do community outreach and prevention. BARCC is the second oldest rape crisis center in the country, and one of the biggest.
We do good and necessary work.
This work costs money.
Please sponsor me

(And if you want to walk with me, register here
and join Team Venture!)
So. Another thing that I want for my birthday: please sponsor, and whether or not you can sponsor, please pass this on!"
