I like to think my blog is more about the emotional, introspective, thoughts of surviving cancer. But there are a few things you should take the time to look over this week...
As I'm sitting at Dana Farber, for some lovely treatment and EKG's. I'm reminded of a story from the Boston Globe, about the Ironworkers at Dana-Farber. They're constructing a new building here in Boston, for children with cancer (Yawkey Way for the Jimmy Fund Program). And, with each beam, they're spray painting the names of these children who are patients at DF, as they continue to build.. it's an absolutely beautiful and simple thing that they're doing.
Second, Hillary has yet again written an entry in her blog, if you have a minute. Take some time to read her feelings on disability discrimination on her February 27th entry, by clicking here. She writes about some pretty powerful stuff, for us kids, that are categorized, labeled, or point blank -- disabled because of illness, trauma, ect.
Lastly: for my shop-a-holics! This was brought to my attention by another hodge warrior, Kelly.
Apparently the GAP Banana Republic, and Old Navy have coupons for 30% off from March 12-15th. In turn 5% of your proceeds, when you go and buys some new clothes will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Which is totally bankrupted right now, and they're having to turn people away left and right that have financial needs for patients. So, guys, go out and buy some new clothes! Click here for the coupon, and print it out. And PS - you can use the coupon as many times as you like, throughout the weekend, over and over again. How amazing is that?
Hope you all have a beautiful weekend,
Sending Love, love, love...
B!

It took a few days, but they finally put a Brian up there. I was wondering what the chances were that they weren't treating anyone named Brian in this neck of the woods.
How are things going? It's been a few days.

Is the Lymphoma-Leukemia society bankrupt because they were one of the charities which invested heavily in the Bernie Madoff fund which turned out to be a 50 billion dollar fraud? I read about so many charities in trouble because of that con man.
