This year, I'll be participating in a fundraiser to raise money for cancer research, patient care, etc. through a project called Be Bold, Be Bald!
I'll be wearing a bald cap all day and I've set my fundraising goal at $150. If we can meet that, great! If we can go beyond that, awesome! And I say "we" because this is a team effort. I'll be wearing the bald cap but I need sponsors.
I can't imagine there still exist people whose lives haven't been affected, in some way, by cancer. If there are, realize how blessed you are. I've had family and friends who have fought cancer and I've lost family to cancer. And, I know he wasn't a human, I've also lost a dog to lung cancer. Now, the fundraiser is for research/care for cancer in humans, but I was trying to illustrate my point.
So, I set the bar low, I think. If I get 30 friends with $5, well, this will be easy as pie for all of us. If I get 15 friends with $10, that works too. If I get some friends with $1 and some friends with $10, and some who aren't feeling the effects of the economy right now with $30, well, hey we are on a roll.
HOW CAN YOU HELP FIGHT CANCER?
