I need to make something a little more clear. If you donate to PCH it's going directly for research, treatment, facilities upgrades, etc. In fact if you go their site, you can even choose where your donation goes. Of course I would like to see it go to cancer research, but the fact is, that hospital needs money to treat kids with all kinds of illnesses.
Now, if you go over to Mark's site, The Longest Day, you can donate to help with the enormous cost of cancer treatment Mark and Shannon are having to pay. It's terrible that insurance doesn't cover all the costs associated with the treatment, but it is what it is. They could also use your help, no matter how much you have to give.
So, if you choose one...don't think you are neglecting the other. They are both great choices. Also, you may want to think about splitting your donation up 50/50. You may not think it amounts to much, but if we get enough people opening their hearts and wallets...it can be.
Thank you to every one who has said, "I WILL", this past week. Just awesome. If you want your name added to the scrolling donor bar to the right, just let me know. I am doing this all on the honor system as no money is coming to me directly. If you say you are donating, I believe you, and I thank you.

That was so exciting waiting for my name to scroll across the donor list. I'm a dork, right? Maybe I need to find a hobby!
Nah, you're not a dork. Silly maybe, but not a dork.
When our hot water heater exploded in the garage, my first thought was, "Oh my God my comic books!" Ahead of all all my childhood stuff, wedding stuff, and even some of the boys things. Comic books. I'm a dork. And a nerd.
Yeah, maybe so!
