| Leukemia and Lymphoma Society "Team in Training" |
| Mary, our tenant, is raising money for the Leukemia Society, in Malena’s honor. She will be hauling herself and her bike up mountains and over a 100-mile course around Lake Tahoe on June 1, 2008. To participate, she needs to raise $1200 by March 12th. Check out her web site for information on how to donate. |
|
| Make-A-Wish Foundation |
| Making wishes come true daily. |
|
| Camp Good Days and Special Times |
| A camp full of activities and events for kids with cancer as well as their siblings (who are really suffering as well) |
|
| Franks Sunny Italy |
| This restaurant on 2491 Delaware Ave (and Joe the owner) were nice enough to sponsor one of the rooms we actually stay in at Children’s Hospital. Please eat at Joe’s! (876.5449)
|
|
| Starlight-Starbright Children’s Foundation |
| Sponsored the play room that Malena, her siblings and lots of other families enjoy while at Children’s Hospital, it would be much tougher without that playroom for the kids. |

A variety of ways you can help others.
|
|
| CBR Cord Blood Registry |
| We did this when Malena was born. |
|
| Organ Donation NY (made easy!) |
| This is a BIG ONE for me. Please don't be selfish and short sighted, just sign up and do it! (and not just your tonsils and appendix)
You can save 8 peoples lives and help 50+ more, and it costs you NOTHING! |
|
| Red Cross Blood Drives (near you!) |
| Another BIG ONE for us! Local blood drives near your zip code, kids with Leukemia, like Malena, need a LOT of blood (for platelets and hemoglobin). |
