Chelsea fans all over the world it's time to come together and support two of our supporters in
their challenge to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to mark it as "Chelsea Territory" and most importantly
of all, to raise money for FOUR tremendous charities: Help a Capital Child, Right to Play
International, Association for Suicide prevention and Save the Children.
Last November I held the Scottish Football Blog's first - perhaps only - blogathon.
One post an hour for 24 hours with topics chosen on Twitter and by fellow bloggers.
All in aid of two fantastic charities: Alzheimer Scotland and the Homeless World Cup.
24 hours, a few energy drinks, too many cigarettes and 17,000 words later and I was done.
The charity appeal set up to raise money in memory of Nigel Doughty has reached the £4,000 mark in
under two weeks. The tribute, set up by LTLF Forum member Paul Elmore, has been raising money for
ChildLine, one of Mr Doughty's favourite charities. With gift aid included the current total raised
is £4,822.

There's been some recent buzz around the Houston Dynamo, and it's not all centered around the
brand spankin' shiny new toy, BBVA Compass Stadium. As we continue to count down the final week
