From now until the Blogathon we're going to spotlight 'thon participants who have shared the story of why they're blogging for the charity they've chosen.

Blogger Spotlight: Yoshi for Susan G. Komen

"I'm blogging again this year for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

"A year ago, we lost our dear dear friend to a horrible motorcycle accident. While riding down a steep road while riding her motorcycle, a truck pulled out in front of her, not seeing her, and she ran into it head on. Today is a truly sad day, as it marks the 1 year anniversary of her death. It doesn't even seem so long ago, sometimes it only seems like yesterday. Regardless, all my blogging is dedicated to Jen, who was a cancer survivor.

"When she was going through treatments, she never looked depressed, she never looked down. She was always optimistic and she always saw that the glass was half full. Jen was an inspiration to many people. I don't think I ever heard of anyone saying anything but incredibly great things about Jen. She would light up the room instantly when she showed up. She had a knack for making people smile."
