Last week I challenged others to help set a world record. Well, we did.

We will actually try to break the record in a major way on the first day of National Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week, which starts April 3, 2011. So, if you have a WordPress blog or know someone who does, make sure they are part of the action:

1. Write your own WordPress blog post about adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer or the Break Cancer record-setting bonanza on April 3, 2011. (Ahem, #postaday2011, anyone?) Be sure to link to my coming April 3rd post or leave a link in the comments so I can count it in our results.

2. Encourage others to leave a comment on your April 3rd WordPress blog post, more specifically – a tribute, honoring either someone age 15 to 39 impacted by cancer or a healthcare professional, individual, or organization devoting time to caring for AYAs with cancer. (All comments on all participating WordPress blogs will count toward the world-record breaking fun.)

3. Share the world record attempt via email, Facebook, or Twitter. You can follow Break Cancer on both Facebook and Twitter, as well.

4. If you are interested in participating as a WordPress blogger on April 3rd, let me know and I will link to you in upcoming posts. I plan to have a badge ready soon, too, so you can add that to your site, as well.

5. If you blog on another platform and want to see if your platform can out-blog WordPress,  no worries…set your own record. I love some friendly competition!
