1. Will & Anne – Good luck.
   I think it is so cool and touching that you are doing this. I am already donating to a friend doing the walk up in Seattle, but I send my best wishes for training,fundraising and the walk itself.

2. My mom found a lump about a month ago. It turned out to be malignant. In the month between her self-exams, it went from zero to quarter-sized. There was no pain or other warning–that monthly self-exam probably saved her life, since she wasn’t due for a mammogram for several months. She’s in chemo right now, but she’s been listed in the lowest mortality group, so we’re confident she’ll recover completely.
   Ladies, please learn the proper self-exam method and use it.

3. Wil,
   Congratulations on your decision to make the walk. I’ve participated in other Pallotta events in the past (DC AIDS Rides) – they’re absolutely life-changing. You’re doing a good thing. You’re a hero. You’re going to hear that between now and walk time – you’re going to realize it on the walk.

4. I tried to make a donation in Wil’s name but the system seems to be over loaded, I hope Wil checks out the capacity of these sites before he uses them as links. He could do damage linking from his site. This has happend before. He has wrecked sites. I’m know he didn’t mean it but you have to be careful. If you know a way that I can give a donation to the fund in Wil’s name I would appretiate a link.

5. Good for you, Wil – I wish you all the best on your walk. I will try to get on there and donate to the cause, and will tell my friends about it, too.
   Oh and I wanted to let Vicki know (the woman whose aunt needs the transplant) that there is a program here in Canada where they do islet transplants (pancreatic) and it is helping diabetics, some of whom have complications, to no longer need to take insulin. They have a web site to offer for those outside of Canada – it is http://www.IsletService.org. For anyone reading this in Canada, diabetics interested in applying for the program can go to http://www.med.ualberta.ca/islet. (My sister is applying and I really hope she gets in, before she gets to the need for dialysis.)

6. Wil, good luck to you and Anne! When I tried to make a donation, I kept getting the wonderful “cannot find server” message. :’-( But I will keep trying! I was a poor college graduate until the presents and cards started coming in, and now I have this lump of money that I’m trying to save, spend on something worthwhile, or at least not blow all at once. This definitely counts as worthwhile, so I’m going to keep reloading that derned page until it takes my money!!!
   God bless Wil, Anne, and everyone else who is helping the cause in some way. 🙂

7. Hey Wil,
   Yeh Id love to sponser you too…. don’t think I can do much on my 8bucks a week from the paper route (only 14 here!) but I’ll try!!!
   I know how it feels to be effected by cancer, I almost lost my grandfather to prostate and one of my good friends has lukiemea. 🙁
   I’ve gone on walks like that too, but only for a day! Good luck and I’ll do what I can

8. way to go Will and Anne

9. Can we get an update on the donation total? It still reads 0 after a full day.

10. Wil, I think it’s better as;
    learn from yesterday,
    live for today,
    pray for tomorrow. 🙂

11. I have just donated $500 dollars to you.
    Good luck.

12. Did you hear the awesome news? A lab near Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana has found a HUGE breakthrough in cancer treatment. They are dubbing it a cancer CURE!! How awesome is that?! The story was on the news last night, here is the link for my local news station that ran the story.
    http://www.wishtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=827193
    They found that lab rats’ cancer all but disappeared with this new treatment. They are awaiting the FDA to approve testing on humans. They say that this can cure all sorts of different cancers, including several forms of BREAST CANCER!
    The big newspaper in the capital (of Indiana) (http://www.indystar.com/article.php?cancer20.html) says that it can cure one third of all the cancers in the world. It’s not all of it and they still need to keep the ball rolling with this one, but it’s a much needed start.
    I’ve lost many loved ones to cancer, a few more specifically to breast cancer. Thank you, Wil Wheaton (and Mrs. Wheaton,) for doing this. God bless you both!

13. Hey Wil,
    Good luck. I won’t be supporting on this one as I have read far too much negative press about the company that puts on these walks to have any hope that my cash would do any good – better to put it towards an organization that I feel might actually make a difference. But kudos for taking a stand, for trying to make a difference, and for inspiring others to do the same.

14. There ya go Wil. I donated $20US, which will be about $4000 Canadian on my credit card =)
    Good Job, and I hope ya get to your $5000

15. Hi Wil.
    I’m from Germany. Do we germans have to expect any resentments from the USA because we beat you at the soccer World cup?

16. Wil,
    Why does the page say that the current donation total is $0? I know that can’t be, since I just donated. Do you know if/when that will can fixed so we can watch your progress toward your $5000 goal?

17. Wil…get them to fix the donation meter!
    Its good for morale…plus makes more sense if
    it goes up when a doantion is placed..hitting
    referesh does no good.
    Kudo’s to all that are helping with this.

18. I don’t know how their donation meter works…they say that the meter won’t go up until donations are processed, which can take up to three weeks.
    I’m working on a quick-and-dirty install of postnuke to be a local update site. Watch for it in about 2 weeks.

19. Wil,
    Thanks to you and Anne for walking. My grandmother is a breast cancer survivor, so this is a cause close to my own heart. Unfortunately, I’m really, really, ridiculously out of shape, so I know I’d never make it in the walk.. so instead, I donated some ca$h for yours. 🙂

20. I applaud your willingness to help out, Wil. My wife is currently battling breast cancer. I, as others have mentioned, will not be supporting your venture financially due to issues I have with where the money goes. Look at the financial statements on the organizing corporation’s site: historically, 59%-60% of the money raised has actually been given to the cause for which it was raised. I prefer other organizations, whose overhead is smaller, and who pass along 85%-90% of donations collected. At any rate, your willingness to get involved is inspring, and I’ll be rooting for you during the walk!
