Okay, every once in a blue moon, I do something nice. It’s true. Seriously. Stop laughing.

Anyway, now I’m asking you all to do something nice with me. Are you ready?

Unleash Your Story is trying to make a difference.

Unleash Your Story

A combined read-a-thon and write-a-thon that challenges readers, writers and published authors to unleash their stories and make a difference.

Our goal is to raise $10,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the leading organization in the United States devoted to cystic fibrosis.

Date:
September 1, 2008 to September 30.

Since I’m currently revising and not writing, I have donated. It doesn’t take a lot. Even $10 will make a difference.

I chose to donate to Colleen Gleason’s team for two reasons.

1. she has a ten year old son who was diagnosed with CF at six weeks old.
2. I really like Colleen’s books and anything that gets her to write has my support.

Read her story here.

Please join me in supporting Colleen. CF is an ugly genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. Just 20 years ago, CF used to have a very low life expectancy(10 years old)…but now, thanks to research (made possible by fundraisers like UNLEASH) these kids can live into their forties. This is a miracle made possible by donations.

I have a friend who has 2 kids with CF. Can you imagine? Let’s work to stamp out this disease all together. Click the banner to donate. Seriously, just $10 will make a difference.

Support COLLEEN GLEASON! Let’s put an end to CF, together.

Leave me a comment if you’re participating or if you’ve donated.
