While perusing AR today I learned about a gifted blogger named Karen George.  For those who don't know she is in a tough battle against breast cancer and needs her AR family's help.  Taking the lead from Adam Waldman I am going to do my part in spreading the word about helping Karen and her family during this difficult time.

Celebrate Courage Silicone Bracelet    If we all just send in $10 we could raise over $400k from all the members of AR!  That's pretty powerful!  If you'd like to contribute you can send your check to:

                                                                            Karen George
                                                                                 c/o Calie Waterhouse
                                                                     1900 West Chandler Blvd. #15-282
                                                                                      Chandler, AZ  85224

I have not read many of Karen's posts but I look forward to reading them as it seems many have been inspired and rewarded by her writings.  Calie Waterhouse started this and many of us will take her lead.  Let's do our part to help.

That's good to know.  The more we all spread the word the better we can help her.

Thank you for bringing this up again, many of us have posted on Karen's difficulties and honestly there has been many good people join in the effort to help but I thought many more would have.  Perhaps because there are so many post on any given day that this is getting lost in the shuffle I am not sure.

Karen is a wonderfully talented lady and has done much to help so many, she has not asked for a thing in return from any of us but I know she needs all the help we can send her direction so I encourage all of this community to get together behind her.

Sandy - This is a noble post.  Since Adam and I are friends, I had seen his post on this as well.  I think I might just stick a check in the mail this week.

Bob & Carolin - Thanks for mentioning the Bank of America option.  I agree, we can all spare a little which adds up to a whole bunch!  Thanks for stopping by!

Darrell - I think you are right a post gets lost quickly and many go unseen.  I had not heard about her situation until just now so I'm doing everything I can to get it out there.  I sent a personal email to all my associations to let them know to check out my blog and others.  Hopefully they'll pass the info onto their associations and so on and so on!  I don't think the lack of response is people not caring I think we just need to keep the need going and not let it get lost until Karen is out of the woods!  Thanks for commenting!

Jason - I think it was your suggestion to check out the new Addicts group that I found Adam which led me to Karen.  Now that's Divine intervention!!  I dropped my check in the mail this morning already!  Thanks for commenting.  I'm just doing my part to help out someone in need!

Brad - It makes me very grateful for my good health and if there is something I can do, to help her and her family out I am all over it!  It's awful to hear someone so young going through such a battle.  Thanks for commenting!

Mike - I had not heard until just now as well and wanted to do all I could to spread the word.  We can make a difference for her and her family for even a small donation.  Thanks for your donation, I'm sure Karen and her family will appreciate it very much.

Kris - I am so glad those who missed it the first time are seeing it now.  I'm sure you have your own spere, so spread the word to them and it should go from there and before we know it, Karen will be known all over AR!!!

Dez - Thanks a million!!!  Mine went out this morning!  Everyone should do their own blog too because you have regular readers that may not see my or others posts.  I hadn't seen it before now.  If we all post, AR will be abuzz with Karen George's name!

Jennifer - Great addition to my info.  Now you should do a blog with that info so others will see it again and again....Thank you to Jay too for setting up a click to pay button.  That's awesome!

Thesa - Thanks I will.  I have a friend whose mother has had breast cancer three times and is a survivor.  She is pretty lucky unfortunately not all stories end this way.  I'm going to spend some time today reading more of Karen's blogs.  Thanks for the comments, now put them into a short blog and reach your spere.

 

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR READING AND COMMENTING.  WE ALL NEED TO BLOG TO REACH EACH AND EVERY MEMBER OF ACTIVE RAIN.  WE ALSO NEED TO PRAY FOR KAREN AND HER FAMILY!  THE POWER OF PRAYER IS AMAZING!
