Post #9 of #49 – Over the next 24 hours I will be raising funds for the Union Gospel Mission during Blogathon 2009 by writing a blog post every 30 minutes. Please consider donating to my cause to keep my going until 6am PT July 26th.

For the next few hours I will be profiling bloggers who have joined me here at Workspace for the Blogathon Vancouver on-site event. Blogathon is taking place around the world but it’s a pleasure to have organized something that can unite locals each running their own campaign.

Caroline

Sexy in Vancity – To say that Caroline empowers other woman through leadership and compassion is an understatement. She not only writes a blog and hosts a radio program, but she’s also the founder of BeautyNight, “a non-profit volunteer-based organization that provides makeovers and wellness programs to marginalized women and youth.”

Lorraine Raincoaster – Lorraine is a social media coach and blogger extraordinaire whose online presences reach far and wide. Her cause today is the Federation of BC Writers with which she is highly involved.

Isabella Mori is a member of the canadian professional counsellors association and of the international society for mental health online. She is a former Vancouver Blogger Meetup organizer and co-hosted MentalHealthCamp. She is @moritherapy on Twitter.


Catherine

Catherine Winters is participating in her first Blogathon this year. I often run into her at conferences and she is the person to go to in Vancouver for anything Second Life related. Her blog posts this morning are already cracking me up so I’m looking forward to seeing what she writes throughout the rest of her campaign.

Raul & me

One of such participants is my friend Raul Pacheco. He’s always eager to lend a hand, show support, keep your spirits up, and is one of the most friendly people you’ll ever meet. He’s blogging today on his site, Hummingbird604 and I believe he’ll have a few up on his research site as well. He is doing Blogathon for the third year in a row.

We’re hanging out in Gastown all day so I thought it would be neat to capture a bit of the scenery at such a wee morning hour. No tourists line the street, club goers are doing the walk of shame, and a vehicle cruises down the wrong way of a one-way street. Good morning, Vancouver.

Since 2001, Blogathon has connected bloggers virtually all over the world through a single 24-hour campaign. This is the first year that there has been an organized event in Vancouver and one hour in, it’s going swimmingly. Just to show just how much our region cares (and is crazy for blogging) there’s also another event happening right now out in the Fraser Valley.

Gary Jones from Bluefur and Rainer from ThinkReferrals have also organized an on-site event for bloggers in Surrey, Langley, and anywhere East of the Fraser River.

Check out Gary’s blog throughout the day for links and information and let’s cheer on this amazing effort from everyone in the Lower Mainland.
