I’m copy and pasting this from my blog because it can’t hurt to get even more readers to see this
Yesterday I happened upon the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society webpage as I do every once in awhile. I happened to see actress/comedian, Tina Fey’s, name and decided to look into it. Well apparently she’s the 2009 Light the Night Walk National Spokesperson. Pretty cool. I watcher her video and got chills throughout my body when she said “Cancer. It’s a dark word. When it’s directed at you or a loved one, it can turn your world upside-down…”. I couldn’t have said it better myself because I do believe that it has turned our world upside-down.
After watching the video I decided to create a team in hopes of bringing together the family and friends that have been by our side throughout this entire god-awful journey. So Team Gary’s Guardian Angels was born.
I’m excited to get everyone to walk along Gary and me this November. By then he should be done with chemo and will be on the mend and what a better way to show cancer that we kicked it in its ass than to get a large group of people to show cancer that we did it together!
Oh and here’s the video that gave me the push I needed to start up our team:
In an effort to make sure we get the word out to everyone (and raise money), we are starting this chain-blog (Ok, not sure if that is correct terminology. But it’s like a chain letter so let’s just go with it, shall we?)
Here’s what we need you to do…Repost this post (or create your own new version) on your blog and ask others to post it on their blogs. Melissa will donate one dollar to the fundraiser for EVERY BLOG that posts on Let’s Eat Cake this week! With the power of the blogosphere, that can QUICKLY add up! Let’s make Melissa Pay! Once you have reposted it, leave a comment letting us know that you posted it along with the url to the blog. It’s for a great cause and it will be fun to see how far it will go! So lets do it… Lets blog it forward and raise money for a great cause!!!
On one of my favorite blogs today I saw a post to help Serenity. It kinda hit home because Mikey’s dad was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia just 2 days before Mikey was born. Thankfully he hasn’t needed treatment but I just feel the need to help spread the word when I see others with leukemia in need of help. So please help Serenity, a little does go a long way!
I learned about blogger Phil Burns’ heartbreaking story from The Blog Herald. Phil’s a father of eight. His toddler daughter was just diagnosed with leukemia. The family has created a website and blog to share their story and to raise money for Serenity’s treatment. You can donate there, or by using the widget below. Hey, why not click “copy” on the widget and put it on your blog?
