Six Degrees of Separation, Well Maybe Twelve
Last week I wrote about Parade Magazine’s America’s Giving
Challenge. My friend and colleague, Peggy Padden. Two of her three sons
have been diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia (Jake died in 2003 from it).
Have you heard about Kevin Bacon’s six degrees site?
http://www.sixdegrees.org/. It is a major sponsor of this contest. And
you know the idea, everyone is connected by 6 degrees of separation.
Peggy and I are. My daughter went to a wedding a couple of years back in
Seattle. I knew that Peggy was going to a wedding at the same time in
Seattle. Well, Charlotte calls and tells me she saw Peggy at the wedding.
I couldn’t believe it and it turns out that a cousin on Charlotte’s
husband side of the family married a cousin from Peggy’s husband’s side of
the family. See six degrees of separation…(well,actually probably 12
degrees).
So…I am hoping that you will donate to the cause, keep the Faconi Anemia
Research Fund at second place and help them to move to first place. Please
be sure to select the charity badge and donate through the badge.
Here is the site: http://www.parade.com/givingchallenge?source=pressAGC.
I find it interesting that the two top charities are about saving animals. I totally believe that animals should be taken care of and rescued and save. I also believe that no parent should ever be forced to join the “I lost a child club” and hopefully, through research, a cure will be found for Fanconi Anemia. Please consider donating.
Happy Reading.
