If you’ve been around the blogs at all in the last month, you’ll have heard about Kilted to Kick Cancer.  This worthy effort to draw attention and funds to research on cancers that strike men is one of those that should ring true to everyone.  Either you’re a man who is at risk for prostate and testicular cancer, or you’re a woman with a husband, father, brother, or friend who is.  The 2012 campaign is ticking towards its end, and the time to donate is now.

Lots of great people have links up on their blogs that give you an opportunity to either donate to the LiveStrong organization or the Prostate Cancer Society.  If you’re of a mind to do so, and you have a few extra bucks to donate toward a worthy cause, please consider hitting one of them to make a donation.

And hey, in addition to the warm and fuzzy you’ll get for putting your filthy lucre toward something other than strong drink and things that go bang, several of them are running drawings for donors.  In exchange for doing something good, you get the chance to win stuff.  There also seems to be a….. healthy* competition going on.  If I read this right, if Stingray wins, he will get his nether regions waxed.  Jay pledges to shave his mustache, while AD promises to shave half of his.  Evyl Robot promises to go to the range in drag and take video, while his lovely wife Jennifer seems to have a catsuit of some kind that will be donned if he wins.  OldNFO is also in on the campaign, but I see that he has the good sense to not try to compete with the craziness I mentioned.  There are a lot of others who are joining in, so check the main page of your favorite blogs.  If you’re one of the bloggers with a banner up for KTKC and I haven’t mentioned you, please feel free to post in comments.

So, pick your poison and give toward a cause that touches all of us.

*If we define “healthy” as a series of escalating and insane “Oh yeah?  Well I can go a couple of steps further!” back and forths.
