The Lion Brand Yarn Studio (one of my favourite shops) is, in honour of its first anniversary, crocheting and knitting scarves for the NYC charity The Partnership for the Homeless. You can join in too and there are incentives to inspire and encourage you. Please join in!
Peter Sagal of Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me has posted a request on his blog asking for donations for a friend & mentor. Colon cancer is a cause which is unfortunately close to my heart so I beg, please, give what you can to help Jo and if you aren’t comfortable giving to a complete stranger, please look up organizations which support research for colon cancer, I’ll let you choose. Or even just raise awareness that screening is beneficial. Please? Thank you.
I’ll try to regularly highlight an organization or cause that needs some help. Today there will be a bonus of two as two friends are involved with events to raise awareness and needed funding this weekend.
David is participating in Braking the Cycle, a 275 miles ride from Boston to NYC. David has reminded us all that while his ride will end Sunday, AIDS will not.
Kim’s family has been affected by not often publicised but hereditary Pancreatic Cancer. She is walking this Sunday at a Walk her parents started near Albany. I agree with Kim that research is a strong tool to help learn out more and improve survival rates.
Please give what you can. I believe that $1 really will make a difference.
