Taking New Donations For A Cancer/AIDS Contest

[mikesinner]

This thread is just for donations so I can keep track of the total amount collected.

If you want to find out how the contest runs you need to visit this thread.


To get more eyes on this thread and to keep it a little more interesting I will be posting some stories of people who are dealing with these diseases or have died from them. I'm not going to go crazy with this. It will just be something to post instead of here's a bump.

So I start out the donations with my own contribution of points.

Lets see if anyone will top me. lol.

Mikesinner donated $432.01

To donate just go to >>> http://bbs.mediumpimpin.com/donate.php

Put in how ever many points you wish to donate and then mikesinner as who you are donating it to.

You can send the points to me and I will add them right away to the total. I will have the point total in the header updated once a week.

I think Keven knows I won't be running off with anyone's points since I already told everyone that all my MP points would go for future contests.

[mikesinner]

I hope the second thread doesn't look to jumbled. I may need to rewrite it. I plan on sending a copy of this thread to every one of my sponsors.

[lazzlo]

I think this is the saddest story I have ever read.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — Colby Curtin got her final wish.

The 10-year-old girl desperately wanted to see the new Disney-Pixar movie, "Up." But the cancer-stricken girl was too sick to go to a theater.

Thanks to a family friend who got in touch with the movie studio Pixar, an employee of the Emeryville-based company arrived at Colby's home with a DVD copy of the movie, The Orange County Register reported Friday. The girl died later that night.

Colby's mother, Lisa, said she had asked her daughter if she could hang on until the movie arrived.

"I'm ready (to die), but I'm going to wait for the movie," she said her daughter replied.

"Up" is the animated tale of a grumpy old man who, after his wife's death, tries to fulfill their joint dream of visiting South America by tying thousands of balloons to his house and floating away.

"When I watched it, I had really no idea about the content of the theme of the movie," Colby's mother told the Register. "I just know that word 'Up' and all of the balloons and I swear to you, for me it meant that (Colby) was going to go up. Up to heaven."

Colby, who was diagnosed with vascular cancer in 2005, saw previews for the film in April.

I think this is the saddest story I have ever read.



The Full Story

Oh man, too damn sad...

[mikesinner]

Oh man, too damn sad...

It's one of the saddest stories I have ever read. No child should have to die like that or die so young from cancer.

[mikesinner]

Bumping this.

[mikesinner]

Every night before she falls asleep, Annette McKeon kisses a picture of her daughter.

"I love you Aimee," she says softly, and then squeezes a Teddy bear named Hope. A recording of Aimee's voice plays from inside.

"I love you Mom."

Some nights, she squeezes the toy over and over again.

"It keeps her alive," Ms. McKeon says.

Aimee Dickey died in December. A rare brain tumor took the life of the 12-year-old who had copper red hair and loved rabbits.

Before Aimee died, Ms. McKeon, 46, made her a promise - she would work tirelessly to raise awareness of childhood brain tumors.

On Mother's Day, Ms. McKeon says that although Aimee is no longer alive, it's never been more important to be her mother.

Mystery illness

Aimee was a swimmer. She loved crafts, riding her bike and go-kart racing. She enjoyed writing and had dreams of becoming a journalist or author. Born in Scranton, she spent much of her life in Arizona after Ms. McKeon, a single mom, was offered a better job in medical insurance claims.

Aimee quickly made friends and joined a cheerleading squad. In 2007, her team won third place at the national championships.

At 10, Aimee was the picture of a healthy, happy child laying the foundation for a long, fulfilling life. A year later, she was dying.

The Full Story

[JaneBurgess]

Damn. Those two stories made me cry. Those kids were so brave.

Ya, they are. I hope that everyone will at least run the program on their computers.

[mikesinner]

Last bump before bed.

[mikesinner]

[mikesinner]

Bumping again.

[mikesinner]

Sorry but I have to keep bumping this.

[mikesinner]

See you guys tomorrow.

[mikesinner]

I actually think I need to rewrite both of these.

[mikesinner]

Morning bump.

Donated my $$

I always thought that cancer always hits somebody else, but never me or my family. That change on April 15th 2008 when my husband (36 that time) was diagnosed with a very rare form of Cancer. After the tumor was removed from the head/neck in a 9 hrs surgery, we thought we might be lucky. We were not. Xray showed that the tumor already had spread into the lung, both sides. 8 months of chemotherapy gave some hope, but finally the tumors grew again. So we decided for an experimental lung surgery. 28 tumors were removed, but the doctor said, it was impossible to remove all, so the secong lung wing was not done anymore. This is now 3 months ago and soon another pallative chemotherapy will start. It is very hard to keep up a normal life. Cancer is something I dont even wish to my worst enemy and I can tell you, it can happen to anybody anyday.

Mike, thanks for starting this and thanks to everybody participating!
