El Camino de Thomas

This blog is about my planning, preparation, and completion of El Camino de Santiago de Compostela. El Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James, is a major Catholic pilgrimage. In September of 2009, I plan on taking Camino Frances which will take me about 800km on foot from St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

In the last few years, three of my friends have lost their battles with depression. My Camino is in fond remembrance of them. Not only is this journey for personal reasons, but it's also to raise awareness and money for suicide prevention. Please visit First Giving to make a secure and tax-deductible donation to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Each dollar given will not only go towards research and prevention, but will serve to encourage me upon what will certainly prove to be a trying journey.

It doesn't matter how much or how little you give, just that you do. By giving anything, even $1.00, you're not only showing support for me on my trip, but helping a very worthwhile cause.

First donation!

I received notification that an anonymous donor has donated $100 to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention through my page. THANK YOU. It means a lot to me and to the AFSP. Hopefully that's the impetus necessary to get more people to give for a very worthwhile cause.

On a completely different note, someone informed me that the comments on my blog weren't being accepted. I've fixed that. I have no idea how long they've been down. Sorry about that!
