Below is an archived record of the 24 straight hours that I spent blogging here at "Donating Tenderness" in an effort to help raise money for the construction of the Indiana Tenderness Trail, as well as to help raise awareness regarding the impact that violence has on the lives of it's victims.

Donations can still be made in contribution to the Indiana Tenderness Trail any time up until Wednesday night, August 1st, at midnight EST.

Much Thanks!

Pledging to The Tenderness Trail

"Joanna at Donating Tenderness is blogging for the Tenderness Trail, an online memorial to child victims of violence. She has an amazing series of posts underway, thoroughly researched and brimming with information. It's not an easy topic but Joanna has turned it into one of the best and most comprehensive 'thon themes I've seen."~ Bill Hooker
