Not so much for myself (though it would be nice if by some huge miracle I won the raffle I'm about to tell you about!), but to raise awareness and money for a very worthwhile cause that I have mentioned here before.

Mike Stokely, who was killed in Iraq on August 16, 2005. In addition to raising money for a very worthy cause, which is plenty of motivation in and of itself, they
are having a raffle:
So come on, help a girl out and drop a sponsorship in the pot for her.
