I agree with planning to run/walk. It's not only a half marathon that you'll be doing. You'll be swimming and biking before it, and it will probably be pretty hot. Sacramento (I'm sure you know this) in August is sweltering.
Yes, I will be taking donations. Here's my page:

I live in Antioch, land of the hot, windy summers, so I'll be training in the heat and wind. Plus, I'll be going up to Guernville/Windsor to do all the parts of the course ahead of time. That's one reason I picked this race - being able to preview the course eased some of my concerns about doing a tri. I also picked it for the cause. My sister was diagnosed with tongue cancer a year ago. It's been a tough, tough year for her. She finally got rid of her feeding tube two weeks ago.

I'm honestly hoping to not walk any of it. But if I need to, I will.
