Calling All My EMS Peeps

With only six days to go until the donation deadline for the Kilted to Kick Cancer fundraising challenge, my publisher has committed twenty copies of my book to the cause.

For those of you who already own a copy of En Route, don't get excited. This is just the paperback version of that book. But, from now until 2359 on October 3, any donation of $40 or more to Prostate Cancer Foundation or LiveStrong gets you a free, signed copy of the book. I only have twenty to give away, so act fast.

I'll sign it.

I'll personalize it.

Heck, I'll write whatever the heck you want in it.

You want the dedication to read, "Dear Roberta, I'll never forget the night in Fargo with you, me, the marmot and that vat of lime Jello. It's a pity the marmot will never be the same. ~ Love and kisses, Kelly," then that's what I'll write. Someday long after I'm dead, that signature might actually be worth something, or at the very least, it will make future anthropologists scratch their heads.

$40, people. That's all I ask, and it's a fully tax deductible donation. Gather up your squadmates, pool your money if you must, and add your copy to the ambulance or fire station library. Or give your copy to a friend. Better yet, donate the money on behalf of a prostate or testicular cancer survivor you know, and I'll personalize the autograph as your gift to them. 

All you need do is hit either of the donation links in this post, and leave me a comment here or by email with your name, donation date, confirmation number, and how you want the inscription to read. It's first-come, first-served, so the first twenty donors between now and the deadline get the books.

Just donate, please. So many of you have opened your wallets and your hearts, and I truly appreciate it, but in just three days, prostate cancer awareness is going to get lost in a flood of pink for breast cancer awareness, a disease that kills fewer women than prostate cancer does men, yet receives four times the research dollars.

The time to make your statement is now.

Donate, please, and if you have a male friend or loved one over age 40, urge them to get checked.
