Some of you may have seen the post on my blog. about The Out of the Darkness Overnight that I will be participating in. For those of you who haven't, it is a 20-mile walk over the course of one night. Proceeds benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, which funds research, education and awareness programs – both to prevent suicide and assist those affected by suicide.

On October 17, 2003 I lost a dear friend to suicide. That is why this cause is so close to my heart. My friends and family have helped me reach just under 40% of my goal. Now I need your help!!

I've realized it's much harder to reach my goal than expected. So I decided to offer photographers a little incentive to help me raise money. If you donate $15 or more to my fundraising - I'll give you a template ... for free! Yeah, it costs you at least $15, but that money goes directly to the AFSP which means it's tax deductible!!

Here are the rules:

• Donations must be made to my fundraising page at http://www.theovernight.org/index.cfm?fuse...firmid=10010783
• Minimum donation for a free template is $15.
• For your $15 donation you will receive A) 1 $40 template set OR B) 2 $20 paper packs from Neil Creative.
• I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible - so only one offer per person, i.e. you can't donate $30 to receive 2 template sets, etc.
• Logos, Asuka Books and Marketing Templates are not available in this offer
• Please do not make a comment directly on my fundraising page about which template you would like - please email me at neilcreative@aol.com with your template request, that way I have your email address so I can send it to you.
• I am going on vacation this weekend. So this offer will only be good through Saturday, April 19th at 5 pm, so I can get everyone their templates before I leave!

Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much for your help. And if you can't or choose not to donate - remember to spread the word about this event. You never know who has been hurt by suicide and depression!!
