My name is Raul Pacheco and I'm doing a 24 hour Blogathon on July 26th/27th 2008.

Two main reasons behind why I am doing Blogathon are that (a) I currently have friends and loved ones that are afflicted by the disease and
(b) I have lost my Grandmother and one of my Aunts to cancer.

Even though my relatives do not live in BC, one of my friends currently battling cancer does live here, and I would like to dedicate my Blogathon to my aunt and my friend. I think every bit helps and I want to contribute with my own grain of sand.
