SAVE A LIFE!!!!

Hello Friends! Im doing a little non-Peace Corps blogging today. As many of you might know, I have lost a dear friend to suicide in the past so its a cause i greatly support. I think that if there were more resources for struggling people we could prevent many of the deaths caused by suicide. Im not here to have a religious or moral debate about suicide, Im just simply asking my followers to go to this website below and vote for this cause. Chase Bank is giving out 200 grants to charities that receive enough votes. Im not sure if you are familiar with PostSecret or To Write Love on Her Arms, but both of these are behind this charity. Below I have attached a link and short mission statement of the organization for you to read. PLEASE VOTE!!!!

Peace and Love,
Mack
