As you know, we at IZEA try to support our community as much as we can.  We really look for ways to both give back to the community, and enhance it.  From supporting 3 Day Moms (Breast Cancer Awareness), to the Alzheimer's Association, and more recently, a wall-painting adventure.

Additionally, PayPerPost still allows you to donate the payout of a post to either Habitat for Humanity or the American Red Cross, by choosing one of the organizations from the drop down during post submission.

Anyway, this post is about a dear friend of ours, Brittany, who plays on our amazing flag football team (we won a game, once!).  She is a fervent supporter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which is dedicated to researching a cure for various blood cancers.  Leukemia remains the number 1 child-killing disease in America.  Brittany is joining hundreds of other participants who will be running a 26.2 marathon in San Francisco, this October.  Specifically, the NIKE Women's Marathon- and she's committed to raising over $4100 for the Society.  Of course, she needs your help to reach her goal!   You can help by donating online, via this link, right here! Research is working for these patients- stand up and help.
