EDIT: WOW GUYS! In less than 24 hours we have reached our goal. Thanks everyone for your donations.

Natalie has been accepted as a presenter at the Fat Studies: A Critical Dialogue conference to be held in Sydney on September 10th and 11th. Unfortunately we have to pay for her to get down there, a fee to attend the conference and also accommodation costs. Right now that’s looking highly unlikely. So we’ve come to ask you for your help.

Natalie will be presenting her talk “You Sound Fat: Fat Embodiment Online” which will discuss being a blogger and being fat online. Natalie is well versed in blogging, posting here as well as on definatalie.com which as recently been selected for archiving by the National Library of Australia. Natalie is also fat, so who better to speak on this subject? That’s right, no one.

Any money you can give to help us get Natalie to Sydney would be appreciated. You’ll get the gift that keeps on giving – knowing that the voice of the online community is being heard in academic circles.

Natalie will need around A$650 to pay for her flights, accommodation and the conference fees. Any additional money raised about this amount will be put back into the running costs for Axis of Fat and Definatalie.com. So any dollar that you can spare will help no end.

Donate now by clicking the PayPal Donate button below and help lady who I love, and I know many of you love as well, get to the Fat Studies conference and raise her voice for fat bloggers everywhere! We’ll post an update in a week or so to let you all know how it is going.
