Looks like I kind of over shot my 24 hour blogathon and stretched it out by an extra hour. I'm signing off for now but will check back later tonight. For now just a few final notes:
Please donate and help us reach our goal of $1000. Remember, any amount helps and you will be able to donate until 5pm EDT Monday, Oct. 2nd.
A big thank you to all of you who have donatd thus far.
Read through all the past stories if you haven't thus far. You can go to the 2006 Blogathon archive page to read every post.

Thank you for all of your hard work on this blogathon, Joe. Just the fact that you stayed awake for 24 hours, and made 50 posts during that time, is a huge deal!
The variety of your posts and the quality of your research were both impressive.
Thank you for your generosity and commitment in raising more than $500 for the Foundation's services to people with OI! This activity has really meant a lot to us!
