Your comments on my Haiti relief post resulted in a donation from the Serious family in the amount of $151…that’s $1 per comment.

In addition to that, my mom will match up to $100; so that brings the total up to $251! 

Thank you readers and friends.  I know that not all of you are able to give, but because you stopped by, you made my step up my giving in honor of you.

Also, at the beginning of the month, I wrote a post about Kiva.org letting you know about this great organization to lend money to new small businesses.  I found out that I received $100 from UPrinting and Kiva.org to loan out however I choose.  Thank you all for your kind words and I sincerely hope that you will have the opportunity to help somebody get a break with their new business.

    I would like to introduce you to two very important people in my family.

    This is my cousin Nicky.
    She lost her battle with cancer on October 30, 1991 at the tender young age of 9. Yes, 9 years old. She had a tumor on her brain stem. She was diagnosed on October 18, 1991.

    This is my cousin Taylor.
    She lost her battle with cancer on July 18, 2002 at the tender young age of 11. Yes, 11 years old. She had a soft tissue cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. She fought her battle for 4 years. 4 years of treatments including radiation, chemotherapy, and a 70+ day stay in the ICU.

    They were both fighters. They both lost their fights.

    Cancer research is very important to our family. Some of us participate in Relay for Life. Others donate money. We do what works for us.

    I recently discovered Jay's blog. He is doing a fundraiser specifically for children's cancer research.

    He said

    "Today starts my final St. Baldrick's push before my head shaving on March 21st. For those of you who don't know, I am raising money and shaving my head for St. Baldricks children's cancer research soon...my original post that talks about this decision can be found here. Want the reader's digest version?

    Cancer Sucks.

    And for kids?

    Cancer REALLY sucks."

    Please go visit Jay and make a donation to this worthy cause. Any donation will help. And, it's such a great cause.

    In addition to Jay thanking you, my family thanks you, too!
