Re: [TMIC] It's a great time to give!

It is a great time to give!  I just made my donation.  Probably the only one 
from Indiana.  And as they say, better late than NEVER.  Jude recently sent 
out a greeting and included in her greeting was a link to Grandma Faith's 
website.  At the very bottom of the webpage was a quite profound statement that 
I am adopting as my tagline.  It really hits home when you think about giving, 
whether it be monetarily or your time.  But for Jim and all TM victims, try to 
find a minimum of $10 to be donated through the Yahoo! link listed below.  If 
we give today, maybe there will be a cure for those who will follow us in the 
years to come.

Hurry, I believe the deadline is December 31st. 
Merry Christmas to you all.

  Hey everyone, my charity badge is currently #1 with only 7 donations! 
  http://promotions.yahoo.com/giving/topten.php

  Even if you can only donate $10 (the minimum amount) it will add up. If my 
charity badge receives the greatest number of donations from unique, individual 
donors, regardless of the amount, Yahoo will match the total amount donated! If 
you are able to give more remember the donation is tax-deductible. 

  To designate your donation for a specific fund or purpose, please enter a 
description of how you'd like your donation to be used in the provided box on 
the form.

  Thank you

Hi Deborah
Thanks for the reminder.  It's one of those things that i meant to look into, 
but of course, forgot.  This is a challenge to others on the list.  We tell Jim 
all the tim how much his time and effort mean to us, let's put some money 
behind our woords.  After all, the cause is TM.  Isn't that why we're on this 
website.  How about a donation or two from every state ad country?  Is anyone 
else up tp the challenge?
It was easy,  I just went through the site listed in Deborah's memo.  

Michigan just donated!

 Hi Everybody,
 I am writing to say that I am just slightly disappointed at the lack of 
 response to Jim's request to participate in this fundraiser.  Out of the 
 100-plus people that are signed up with this list, only about 5-6 have 
 responded.  Jim has slipped into second place in the contest.
 
 For all that Jim has done for us, is it too much to ask for you to help out 
 by just donating as little as $10.00?  It is because of Jim that we have this 
 list to participate in, sharing all of our TM experiences and making 
 world-wide friendships.  Jim is a very humble man and one of my best friends. 
  He does not ask for much.  It is a lot of work for him to keep updating our 
 website and search for ways to earn money for a cure and for newer, better 
 treatments for transverse myelitis.  Jim is very devoted to this, and he 
 never asks for anything in return.
 
 Can't we all just help this one time?  If I have guilted even one or two of 
 you into making a donation, then I feel that I have succeeded, but Jim needs 
 8 donations to gain first place again.  And remember that Yahoo will match 
 whatever amount that the first place winner achieves, thus doubling the 
 donation!
 
 Please, let's all do this, if not for our own progress in looking for better 
 treatments for TM, then just for Jim.  Here is the link again, in case you 
 have lost it: Transverse Myelitis Association Donate:

OK, Georgia is accounted for!  Sorry, It slipped my mind also.  I so 
appreciate this website - I've received a lot of good advice over the past 
three years.  Let's make sure Jim comes in first!
