Y’know…too many times with all the fundraising efforts put forth for the major demons like MS, MD, and Breast Cancer, the less known diseases often find themselves struggling to get notice and help.
That’s why I want to salute Mouseplanet’s Stephanie Wein and AllEarsNet writer Amy Stoll for stepping up and helping out in two areas that otherwise I know I would have never known.
Both these ladies will be participating in the WDW marathon weekend with Amy doing the WDW half-Marathon on Saturday and Stephanie doing the full marathon on Sunday.
Stephanie is raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society which is a non-profit organization whose mission is to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families
Stephanie will be training in memory of her grandmother Joan, who passed away last year due to lymphoma.
Amy Stoll is a contributing writer for AllEarsNet.com and is raising funds for Neurofibromatosis – or NF. Amy lost both her mother and her sister Lisa to this devastating and disabling disease.
What I didn’t realize is that NF affects more Americans than Cystic Fibrosis, hereditary Muscular Dystrophy, and Huntington’s disease combined.
I will be supporting both Steph and Amy in their efforts. They are both part of the Disney internet community and thus they are part of my extended family. It’s the least I can do to thank them for having made me smile every time I read their articles.
Plus you never know when that one extra dollar may be the key to finding a cure and preventing someone in your own family from going through the pain and agony that comes with battling a terrible disease.
You can find Steph’s donation page at http://www.active.com/donate/tntnyvt/tntnyvtSWien and Amy’s donation page at http://www.active.com/donate/nfrunsdisney/nfAmymouse where you will find information on how to support them.
Neither Steph nor Amy had anything to do with this post. Sometimes it’s hard to ask for support when raising money for any cause and in this case I thought they needed at least a pat on the back for their efforts.
These are two special ladies and I wish them the best of luck.
