Valour-IT Fundraising Competition

It's here! The Valour-IT 2006 Fundraising Competition, October 30 to November 11. The goal: $180,000 for Valour-IT.

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides voice-controlled laptop computers to wounded Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations at home or in military hospitals. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the 'Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a key or move a mouse. The experience of CPT Charles "Chuck" Ziegenfuss, a partner in the project who suffered severe hand wounds while serving in Iraq, illustrates how important this voice-controlled software can be to a wounded servicemember's recovery.

Bloggers have broken up into four teams, Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force, each with a goal to raise $45,000. I've joined the AIR FORCE team, led by OP FOR. So, what are you waiting for, hit the donation button on the left sidebar, and help the zoomies zoom past the competition to help our wounded heroes.
