$5 Friday Challenge!

Midterms are done! Yesss!!

Here's my challenge for all my supporters this week:

I'm daring you ALL to donate $5 of the money you might spend this weekend on a coffee, a beer, a happy hour pizza, a magazine and ice cream, or even parking if you live in Seattle (!) and help us fight blood cancer!

The more $5's you give the better! Get your friends to donate, see if your company matches donations and spread the word! Ask coworkers, family, friends, everyone!

Next Friday I'll tally up the donations and whoever helps raise the most will receive a commission for a small piece of ART (a painting, drawing, homemade journal, crafty desire, personal chalkboard...) specially made for you.

Five ways your donations make a difference:

1) Your donations last much longer than the 30 seconds it takes to punch in numbers online. You WILL be making a difference in someone's life, even if your contribution is only $1!

2) $50 will register 1 person to be a bone marrow donor.

3) $100 will pay for the cost of 4 patient's chemotherapy drug prescription co-payments.

4) $500 will provide patient aid to a person with Leukemia, Lymphoma, Myeloma or Hodgkin's disease for a year.

5) $1,000 allows patients to meet with health care specialists to design and discuss their disease, treatment plan and prepare them with the info they will need during the treatment process.

I have corporate sponsorship forms if anyone knows of a business who might be interested in taking part in our mission.

Thank you again for your support and have a fun and safe weekend! I'll be running for you!

Go Team!!
