Tahnie of in august and everything after... wrote in to tell us that her charity, the Cystinosis Research Network, is supporting her blogathon efforts by putting up a special page on their site. Tahnie herself has Cystinosis, a genetic metabolic disease in children that can cause kidney failure by age nine, so this charity is especially close to her heart. However, since she'll be in Chicago for the annual Cystinosis Conference during the Blogathon, her friend will be doing the blogging for her. Tahnie already has 15 sponsors, many of whom are families affected by the disease.
