Newsletter January 12, 2008

I started a personal project that is very important to me.  I need everyone's assistance and participation. I am joining the America's Giving Challenge.  I hope to be among the eight finalists with the most unique online donations (which means donating one time only during the challenge)  and received through my charity badge.  If I make to the top 8, the charity of my choosing wins one of the 8 grand prizes: $50, 000!

 I have chosen P.A.N.D.O.R.A. as the charity I want to honor.  All I need from you is an online donation as small as $10 (minimum) by clicking on my  charity badge.  I believe that with your support and help, I can be among the winners.

 You only need to donate once to be counted. If you consider what $10 will do for P.A.N.D.O.R.A.'s mission, you may think it is a small gesture, but in reality is one HUGE gesture that will go a long way to create awareness for our nationwide cause:

-        Enhance the quality of life for patients with neuroendocrineimmune disorders, such as chronic fatigue syndrome-ME (CFS-ME), fibromyalgia (FM), Gulf War illnesses (GWI), multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS), and other related illnesses that overlap considerably such as Lyme disease.  P.A.N.D.O.R.A., knows that only through advocacy and grass roots initiatives for increased research funding, access to qualified treatment, protection under state and federal disability systems as well as the right to work accommodations on the job market, will individuals with neuroendocrineimmune disorders have a fighting chance to survive and thrive globally.  

The America's Giving Challenge deadline is January 31, 2008, at 3:00 pm EST.  Duplicate donations during this period by the same person do not count toward the competition (but it will of course help the charity I chose).
