Dear visitor, blogger, friend...
On Monday, May 7th of last year my 5 year old son was
diagnosed with an acute form of Leukemia (AML). We went on to
spend 5 months in the hospital and an additional 6 months of
restrictions where no one is allowed to enter our house.
I have been told, time and time again, about how much people enjoy
this web site and what it’s done for blogger readership. The truth
is, no one has been helped more by this site then me. The real
story; developing this site served as therapy for me when I needed
it most. Everyone deals with tragedy in their own way. I can only
imagine painters paint, fishermen fish and developers code.
On August 3rd of this year I will do my part to ensure that
no other Father has to go through what I did. I have signed up for
the 192 mile leg of the Pan-Massachusetts
Challenge, the single biggest 2 day cancer fund
raiser in the world.
My question to you is this; does our community have a charity?
If not, can this be it?
Please consider sponsoring me. 100% of the proceeds go to the Jimmy Fund. I will
post all donations, no matter how small to the left hand navigator
on this page. To start things off I have donated every cent of
Google Ads this site has received and will continue thru August.
To make this interesting I’m asking that everyone end their
donation with the number 8. I want the donations from our
community to stand out. Expanding on the geek theme, anyone that
gives $108 or more can send me any 108 characters of text that
I'll linked to the url of your choosing. This information will
stay here for the life of the site.
Ethan is doing well. His bone marrow transplant from his little
brother is working wonders and later this month (April) will be
off restrictions.
Click here to donate (don't forget to end your donation in a
8.00 or .08!)
Kind Regards,
Yancy Lent
