I just wanted to let you know about a charity blogging event occurring over at Goodies for Mom (a great site for Moms, by the way!) at the the Friends of Heroes blog. Go there and find out how you can make a difference and how you can raise awareness. It really is a great cause. (and prizes…did I mention tons of prizes??) Check it out, yourselves.
From their site:
If you have a blog or a website, please help us promote
our “Blogging for Blood Cancer” Event. The first annual “Blogging for
Blood Cancer” event will take place from August 11-18, 2008. This first
time event will bring bloggers from across the United States together
to raise awareness for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
and its mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and
myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
The event is being hosted by Goodies for Mom in conjunction with the Friends of Heroes (FOH) National Light The Night Team
of which I am a proud part. We are asking (ok ,begging) that bloggers
post on your blogs throughout the event about the importance of the LLS
mission, share your personal stories of those you have come to know who
have been affected by blood cancer, or share some of the stories you
read here and on the FOH site during the week that have touched your
hearts.
All bloggers participating will have the opportunity to
be entered to win prizes donated by event sponsors by leaving a Mr.
Linky link on the Goodies for Mom post for the event. The event post will go up on August 11, 2008 at 8:00am. Even if you do not have a blog, visitors to the Goodies for Mom and Friends of Heroes blogs
during the week will also have opportunities to win as they learn more
about the importance of LLS’s research and patient services in the
fight against blood cancer.
