Our beautiful and talented Christina Applegate has done something very
cool to help fight breast cancer -- and as a result, you can get her
autograph and photo!
My friend Lisa (http://www.lisawalks.com)
is participating in the Avon
Walks for Breast Cancer in all 8 walks around the country. That's a
total of 314.4 miles! Her goal is to raise $25,000 for the cause
(http://www.lisawalks.com/cause.htm),
but she can't do it alone. YOU
CAN HELP! She has been collecting celebrity autographs and photos with
adorable little teddy bears and now they are being auctioned off to
help meet that goal (http://www.lisawalks.com/ptb.htm).
Here's our lovely Christina Applegate with her bear:

Bearing Christina's autograph, this little guy is now up for auction
here: http://page.auctions.yahoo.com/auction/92085509.
(You also get
the adorable photo of Ms. Applegate with her bear when you win the
auction!) The starting bid is $25 and since this is a charity
fundraiser, 100% of the proceeds from the auction goes directly towards
breast cancer research. (Of course, this also means your bid is
tax-deductible!)
This auction closes in just over 4 days, so be sure to bid early and
often!

Interested in other ways you can help out? There are 27 other bears
being auctioned right now; check out the complete list here:

You'll find celebs such as Cyndi Lauper, They Might Be Giants, Bradley
Whitford, Elvis Costello, Matt Damon, Sean Astin and many more. Also,

It includes awesome t-shirts
(with some great slogans such as, "Save the Boobs! Fight Breast
Cancer!"), as well as journals, cards and more bearing Lisa's own
photography. There are still 75 additional bears waiting to go on the
auction block! You can see a complete list of the bears that will be
auctioned here: http://www.lisawalks.com/ptb2005.htm.
