Donate to Save!

Hello, everyone!

The weather has taken a turn for the gorgeous here in San Francisco, and we've been enjoying a few days of heat and sun (or at least, as hot and sunny as it can get here in the city).  Today I have a favor to ask of you all.  In a couple of weeks I will be participating with a group of friends in A Relay for Life on campus to raise funds and awareness for cancer research.  Unfortunately, my family has quite a bit of experience with cancer and I felt like it was the least I could do to get involved in this amazing event.

I personally have already surpassed by fundraising goal of $200.  That being said, my team is hoping to raise $1000 and we could still really use some help.  If you would like to donate to me and therefore my team, you can do so here.

Thanks so much, guys!

Donate Your Votes!

Hi everyone!  Hope you're having a wonderful weekend; I know that, despite the huge amount of work I have, I'm actually quite enjoying myself.  Now, there is something a little more serious that I'd like to talk to you about.

Yesterday, my family received an email from a relative asking for us to help raise awareness for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  From what little reading on it I've done, it's exactly as it sounds: intense, chronic fatigue that does not allow those who have it to live life to its fullest potential.  Apparently my relative who is suffering from CFS is not even able to attend high school and is instead home-schooled to allow for frequent breaks and rest.

Now, you may be wondering, what does this have to do with me?  Well, there is no cure right now, but doctors are looking for one and they could use more support.  Chase Community Giving is currently encouraging people to vote for their charity of choice on Facebook.  The charities with the most votes will then be presented with $5 million in grants!  I've already cast my vote, but if you'd like to vote for the Neuro Immune Disease Alliance and CFS, you can do so here.

Thanks so much everyone, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I Need Your Help!

So, remember when I told you that I'm trying to get some t-shirt designs printed on Threadless.com? Well, my design is officially up for voting! I get one week (yes, only seven days) to get enough votes to get considered for printing. That means I need as many people to rate and leave positive comments as possible.

If you'd like to help me out, you can find my design HERE.

Don't be confused by the username littlespider. It is me, I promise! Thanks so much guys, and hope you all are having a fabulous week!
