With the help of my good friends and fellow homeowners of The Coral Reef on North Captiva Island, I am embarking on a journey to create a network of vacation homeowners united to donate portions of their October rentals each year to Breast Cancer Research. In the coming weeks and months, we hope to add more homes to our alliance and stimulate interest in a mostly undiscovered  source for charitable giving. Our vacation home on the island, Windswept, is already donating 15% of all our rentals in October 2009.
