Kindness Plug
Hey there, Ent. My name is Kim and I am an avid reader of your blog. I know that every so often you post a link or two to help a worthy cause. I'm sincerely hoping that you will find time to help my family and I.
In November 2006, my brother, Billy, passed away at the age of 26 after living with a disease called Lupus. He was diagnosed at age 14. Though we know he's in a much better place, my family and I have decided that we don't want his suffering to have been a waste. We want to help raise money for research into developing new drugs to help treat and possibly cure Lupus as well as money to help families who have been devastated by the disease. It's a very worthy cause as there has been no new medications approved by the FDA specifically for Lupus in 40 years and research monies aren't granted on a regular basis to maintain a constant level of exploration.
What I'm asking is that you would please post a link on your website that would allow your readers to check out the Lupus Foundation of America and donate should they feel lead to do so. No one is under any obligation although even a small gift of $1 helps. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thanks for posting this. A good friend of mine has Lupus, and has had it for a few years now. She has a 6 month old baby, and would love to see her grow up!

ReplyDeletehey do you think if one of pam anderson's gets got lupus she would still work with peta to try and ban medical research on animals?
ReplyDeleteI lost my best bud, Donna, to Lupus in 2005. It's a horrible disease. She left behind 3 wonderful children, an adoring husband, a very large, loving extended family and more friends than you can possibly imagine.
