CaringBridge

To friends and family:

I know how we were all so appreciative of the communication provided by the CaringBridge website so I thought I would pass this along. There is a mother in Vernon Hills who has been diagnosed with a muscle sarcoma, her family is also using CaringBridge to communicate her progress. Rachel Lieberman is a 7th grader that lives next door to me and she has done the following to help her friend's mother. I have copied the CaringBridge journal entry and put it on Blake's website so that if anyone is interested in buying 1 or more of the bracelets you can do so. The funds raised will go to CaringBridge per request of Julie, the mom who is fighting sarcoma. If you would like me to get a bracelet(s) for you I can do so. They are $5 each. I would like to help support Rachel in her effort to raise funds. I plan on purchasing these bracelets for each child attending Riann's birthday party this year and giving them a note to let them know that the money used to purchase the bracelets is going to help people who are battling cancer. (The bracelets are also inscribed with the word "battle")

Thanks, Laurie

Taken from the CaringBridge website:

I would like all of you to know that the daughter of a friend of Julie and Gregg's has started a fundraiser for CaringBridge (the site we are using to keep you updated). CaringBridge is a not for profit organization which is so helpful to so many people. I am sure many of you have used it before to monitor a friend or loved one. Her name is Rachel Lieberman and she is selling bracelets with the name CaringBridge on them. She would like to ask for a donation of $5 but will accept whatever you would like to give. Please contact Rachel at lieby89@hotmail.com . Thank you for your support!
