Good day everyone...

Now I hope I don't annoy anyone…

Does anyone think they could spare a few bucks towards my Ride for Kids goal this year? I have had one contributor from this forum and I believe that there a many more who just haven't gotten around to it yet, so why not now? It only takes a few minutes and it could be for $5.00. If half of the board here gave just $5.00 it would make a huge difference is some child's life. Most of us are eager to spend additional money on accessories and parts, why not just a few bucks to these kids.

I just rec'd a newsletter from the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and in the center of the letter they list a memoriam to the young people who have died because of brain cancer.

In memoriam -
Katrina Boggs – 3 ½ years old
Caleb Ingram – Almost 5 years old
Andy Carrasco – Abut 6 ½ years old

Stories of hope:

When Denise was just 6 years old and ready to start first grade, a trip to the doctor brought the most devastating news a parent could hear: their little girl had a tumor growing in her head. The walnut-sized tumor had already done major damage -- Denise was blind in one eye. But leaving the tumor in her brain was not an option. So surgeons removed as much of it as possible. Unfortunately, the doctors weren't able to get it all and three months later, the remaining tumor had doubled in size.
A second surgery, the day before Thanksgiving, was also only a partial success and parts of the tumor remained. "For the next year, we watched as the tumor began to grow again," recalls Denise's mom, Cheryl. "The doctors began a series of new treatments that lasted through the entire holiday season and into the new year. Finally, the tumor stopped growing." In fact, it gradually started to shrink and we're all hoping that her MRI scans will remain clear.
Although Denise, now 13, will still face medical challenges for the rest of her life, her spirit and spunk are truly amazing. She loves art, swimming and yoga. But more importantly, she's excited about finally becoming a teenager.© 2007 Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation • 302 Ridgefield Court • Asheville, NC 28806 • 800-253-6530

I can appreciate that times are tough right now, more for some than others, so if you can afford a few bucks please consider donating; the link is below.

Thanks to everyone and have a great day.
