Below is a Facebook post from Mat Marshall. The title should read Another Eloquent Post in the Form of a Plea from Mat Marshall, but that was a little wordy. He is an excellent writer, which makes this request all the more compelling. Thank you Mat, for your writing and your commitment to this cause. I did not know your sister, but I do know she would be very proud of what you have become. And yes, I include cranky, bearded, hipster, with an uncanny ability to be easily made into a meme. But also, for your honoring her memory by supporting and promoting this event.
I remember when this tragedy happened. It was heartbreaking.
I’ll donate, because I’m not 5k material.
Thanks for posting this, HyperbolicDem, and thanks to Matt for informing us and writing such a beautiful piece.
Thank you, Pandora!

Oops. Link still works.
Something happened on Facebook’s side that altered the security settings. I tried to fix it, but it wouldn’t work. So, I just took a screen shot and hyperlinked it.
