Titles are not my strong suit. But I guess you already knew that. I did name my blog, "things i think about." However, in my defense, I never intended to keep this title. Kind of like the time I named a Facebook photo album, "I can name this later." Except whereas I never did actually get around to changing that Facebook album name, I have given my blog a new title. Inspired by one of my bosses laughing out loud when I told her the name of my blog, I decided it was time. And now, if I change the title again, you know why.
My first weekend judgment is a resounding positive one—and yes, it merits the use of the word, "resounding." I normally try to be spare with adjectives and adverbs, but I don't believe I can do without them here:
Gretchen Holt Witt is a lovely woman. She is generous, determined, smart. She is a mother for whom there are no limits when it comes to her children. She is a woman for whom there are no limits. 96,000 cookies. She organized a team to bake them. Cancer kills more children than any other disease, primarily because of lack of funding. Gretchen founded an organization, Cookies for Kids' Cancer, which donates millions of dollars to doctors at leading cancer research centers.
About one out every four children who is diagnosed with cancer dies, and Gretchen's handsome son Liam was one of them. But here Gretchen is, still (and always) fighting for Liam and so that children like him will have a better chance to live to see their seventh, eight, ninth, tenth, and someday twenty-first birthdays. And if that isn't reason enough for you to click on the link below and vote for Gretchen for a Loreal Women of Worth and help Cookies for Kids' Cancer win $25,000...well, there is no real way to end that sentence, so just click on the link and vote. And, thank you.
Vote for Gretchen
