My mother is walking 60K to raise funds for Breast Cancer research. The money she raises will benefit the BC Cancer Foundation, a leader in this critical cause.
Most of us know someone close to us who has been affected with some sort of Cancer, I lost a girlfriend to cancer myself few years ago. My mother has also lost a close friend to cancer just recently.
We can join forces and make a difference and as they say "Let’s make Cancer history".
Your can make your donations directly to the CIBC bank when you visit my mother’s personal page on the BC cancer foundation website. Thank you kindly for making a difference.
Ask yourself! Can you dance to my beat?
As we dance to a beat that seems out of time,
to the one you feel in the metronome of your mind
Does it offend you that our rhythm looks strange?
or causes your thinking to be rearranged?
Could it be that you would understand those beat to which we dance
more clearly had you been given a chance
So as you struggle to find the feel with your feet
Ask yourself! Can you dance to my beat?
Saving Mom - a 10 year old’s mission
Please Read, and Show that you care:
Tagg is the 10 year old Canadian boy in this picture who’s mom (Honnor Moore) has been struggling with the pain and crippling effects of rheumatoid arthritis for the past 8 years.
“The disease is crumbling her bones from the inside. Lots of her joints look like someone took a big bite. If my mom does not cure her cause, the bites will become bigger until her joints are destroyed and gone. Her fingers, or hands, and toes will fall over and get stuck that way. They will become really crooked and she will not be able to use them at all. I am sad for her. She is so tough. I hope I am strong like her”, Tagg says.
Tagg is trying to raise 25,000.00 $ so her mom could get treatment.
We know Tagg and his family. They are dear friends of my Business Partner Jeannette Duguay from ( Tazzu Networking Ltd. and JenTekk Web Solutions )
How can we help?
You could make your donation of any amount through Paypal. For more information please go to the web page that Jeannette has made for them: Saving Mom
Let’s show Tagg that we care for him, his mom and his family too.
Please feel free to use this image, text, and their website link to spread the word on your blogs and flickr profiles.
Thank you
