Chad Nevett is a contributor to the blog GraphicContent. He also writes reviews and commentary for Comic Book Resources and 411mania. For the last 3 years, he's gone the digital distance blogging for charity -- and on August 15th, he's going to do it again in a 24-hour Blogathon to raise money for Comics Cure-favorite charity, the Hero Initiative. Chad explains it via a recent CBR post:
"For those unaware, a Blogathon is where you blog for 24 hours straight, updating every 30 minutes, for charity. There’s an ‘official’ one of these where everyone does it on the same day and that’s how I first got into it back in 2007 when I blogged on some Joe Casey comics for 24 hours. ... In my three previous Blogathons, they always happened from 9am Saturday until 9am Sunday. This year, the Blogathon will run from 9am Monday August 15 until 9am Tuesday August 16."
Chad offers a few ways to support him (and the Hero Initiative) during the Blogathon:
- Direct donations to the Hero Initiative
- Purchasing products from their site, including annual memberships
- Purchasing products from their eBay store
Be sure to let Chad know if you make a donation or purchase of any kind to support him so he can track the results of his efforts. Send him an e-mail at chevett13[AT]yahoo[DOT]ca with the details of your contribution. Visit GraphicContent on August 15th to support his effort and read his posts, and be sure to check out his Blogathon announcement for a preview of what he'll be blogging about over that long day.
