For Val

Remember those days when the school would decide they needed a new building and send you home with a jogathon card which you were supposed to fill up with people's names and signatures, and ask for donations? Remember when your parents helped you to ask their friends and each auntie and uncle gave RM1 or RM2, sometimes RM5 and if you were lucky, RM10? And back then you didn't even participate in the jogathon.

Well, Yee Pei, Jeyadev and Jinny are actually gonna jog. Or rather... I should say "blog".

Yes, they're entering the blogathon in memory of CHiQ, who committed suicide slightly more than a month ago. CHiQ suffered from bipolar disorder, and it was this illness that contributed to her decision to take her own life.

Therefore, the blogging trio have declared that all donations will go to the Malaysian Mental Health Association. The team will stay up to blog round the clock from 9pm on this Saturday (July 28) to 9pm Sunday (July 29). Please support them by donating, and by dropping by to say hi at their Blogathon blog, Walk On By -- so named because CHiQ loved Cyndi Lauper's song of the same name.
