Hi Mindy,
This is so great, what GCU and Kiss the Toad are doing!
It is heartbreaking to watch the video
Last month, the four year old son of friends of mine died from cancer and infections after chemo treatments .... it is just so sad.

I have posted it on my blog, but when I put it as a "link" it did not really seem to work Huh

So I have just posted the URL's of the video and the yahoo announcement.
Kudos to GCU and to Kiss the Toad!

I designed a card for congrats, donating your hair but forgot to put it on fast track which I think it should be. It's 957981. Love what you are doing. Very disturbing statistics, this disease is way to common in children.

That is so horrible Barbara, I can't even imagine such loss.

Which link did not work for you? To the press release?

Hi Mindy,
I wrote my post on my blog, clicked on "link" and inserted the url and posted.
Then I checked my blog - but the space was empty - so I just pasted the urls without clicking the link button, so the people will just have to copy and paste the url (in case you would like to see what I mean = my blog =http://etoilesandfernweh.blogspot.de). Maybe I did something wrong?
Both links did not work - yahoo announcement and the video.

My friends have two boys left - one is 6, one is 1 year old.
The most emotional moment of the memorial service was when all the people got a balloon filled with helium and wrote a message to Henrik (the little boy who died) on the balloon - then we all let go of the balloons at the same time and they flew off into the sky, till you could not see them anymore - carrying their message of love to Henrik.

The death of a child is the most sad thing on earth.

Thank you for helping those sick kids!

I see what you mean. May be something lost in the formatting or lack of. In any case thank you for posting and your support!

Love the photos of your retreat! Just what the doctor ordered I'm sure. You deserve it!
