Help my dad get out of jail!

I have consistently been amazed and astonished by the generosity and kind-hearted nature of knitters. I hope you don't mind if I take a moment away from our regularly-scheduled programming in support of an upcoming charity event.

My father is a physical therapist and an all-around spectacular guy.

On Tuesday, May 6, he is getting locked up as part of the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Belmar LockUp 2008 - to help “Jerry’s Kids ®.”

To get out of jail, he must raise donations, and he needs your help!



Can you leave this man behind bars??

You can read all about muscular dystrophy and the work the MDA does on their website.

To help my dad get out of jail, you can go directly to his event page, where you can make a tax-deductible contribution by credit card.

His deadline to raise bail is Monday, May 5, so please do consider giving whatever you are able.

Once again, the link to donate is here.

I always gush to my family about the kindness and warmth of the knitting community I've found on the internet, and I hope to astound them with how deep that spirit runs.

Thank you so much for your generosity and concern!

(By the way, I plan to have some really exciting new stuff to show after this weekend too!)
