Racing to Save Lives

I’m proposing a challenge -it’s to help make a difference in someone’s life. All I’m asking is to give up two lunches for the month. That’s $20. And donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It’s that simple.

My goal is to raise $4200 for blood cancer research- that would allow the opportunity for researchers to have funding to develop a cure, as well as assistance for those battling leukemia & lymphoma.

Visit my website and make a donation:

2 lunches. 5 Starbucks. That’s all. It’s also worth checking with your employer to see if they match funds- many do.)

Top 10 Reasons to donate:

1. 10. It’s a chance to save a life, it’s a chance to make a difference.

2. 9. It’s a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation!
3. 8. Leukemia is the #1 killer of children.
4. 7. $25 pays for a patient’s chemotherapy prescription co-pay.
5. 6. $50 will register one person to become a bone marrow donor.
6. 5. $75 provides bone marrow typing for a potential donor.
7. 4. $100 provides patient travel costs to the cancer center.
8. 3. $150 provides aid to a patient for ONE YEAR.
9. 2. $1000 will help the LLS fund a researcher to find a cure.
10. 1. Today, through the work of the society and your donations, 712,000 Americans that would have undoubtedly died - are SURVIVING.

Thank you for helping, and I’ll keep you updated on my progress.

Have a great day!

Hello world!

I haven’t had an “official” blog in years.  Before facebook, myspace and friendster, I had a small, personal blogger account that was more or less a place for me to share my thoughts (and entertaining links) with friends.  With the advent of social networking, I switched to using comments and wall posts to communicate with friends.  But since then I’ve found myself much more wanting to explore new ideas in depth, and let’s be honest, to have a place of my own to vent.

Thank You (and enjoy!)
