Give a little

Just because the holidays are over does not mean we can't still give a little something to those in need. Here are a couple great organizations you can make donations to. First off, as many of you know one of my best friends, Nina Taylor lost her mom in December to cancer. Laurie truly was an amazing woman and I feel I am a better person for knowing her. Nina and her brother Carlos would love it if people could make donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in their mom's honor.
Send checks to
Team in Training
Silicon Valley/Monterey Bay Area Chapter
675 North 1st Street, Suite 1100
San Jose, CA 95112
Write Laurie Taylor in the memo line of the check

Because of my upcoming move, I will not be able to participate in the Huntington Beach Relay for Life which was a life changing experience for me last year. My good friend Sara McCarthy will be organizing a team for the 2008 RFL. The relay will be at Ocean View High School on June 21 & 22. I know she's looking for people to join her team and to help raise money for the American Cancer Society. To join her team and/or make a donation, please visit her website at http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RelayForLifeCaliforniaDivision?fr_id=4505&pg=entry.
