learnteachI have a Birthday Wish. It's my birthday celebration next week (Thanks Mom for all that hard work!) and what I want is
Donations to two very worthy women, in the name of a worthy woman and a worthy man.
Last week my uncle Harry died of cancer. It's not clear to me what kind of cancer; he had it in both lungs and his brain, so it was really aggressive. I haven't been much in touch with him but I mourn his passing. And to commemorate it, I ask you if you can to pledge to help another friend, a very free spirit, who is doing a walk for cancer:

Last October my friend (and many of our friends) Teresa died. There was no cause of death given (and that's another story) but I believe it was from complications of the treatment of her second bout of breast cancer. The week before her death, I had driven her to hospital appointments several times. This is the Teresa who I got the tattoo in honor of, for those who didn't know her--most of my friendslist did. And if you don't, catch me sometime and I'll tell you Teresa stories. Another friend had breast cancer a few years ago, and has beaten it, and is walking in a 3 Day in the fall, in Tampa, Floriday. I walked one once here, and it's HARD work, but amazing experience. I've supported her, and if you've a mind to, it might be nice:

Even if you don't donate, I invite you to celebrate my birthday by stretching your back and giving someone a hug!
