A Worthy Cause
Join Us in This Worthy Cause!
Last Thursday, my dear friend Marnae went with her mother, Georgia, to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center for exploratory surgery. Georgia's gall bladder had been removed a month ago, and she hadn't been feeling up to par ever since.
The doctor tried several tests without success and finally suggested exploratory surgery. Just minutes into it, doctors discovered major amounts of cancer in her fluids, intestines and bladder. The surgical team was baffled and shocked-her body had completely changed within a month's time.
The next few days were so painful as the family sat non-stop by Georgia's side in the intensive care unit. On Monday night, October 2, I stopped by to offer comfort and support to Marnie. I was too late. Georgia had passed away just 30 minutes before I got there.
In memory of Georgia, I'm coordinating a life's sketch scrapbook to display at the funeral. However, gathering photos, memorabilia and dates while a family's in mourning is not an easy task.
This experience has motivated me to get a scrapbook completed about my own parents' lives before it's too late. What better way to do this than using the “All About Me" kit featured above? All the guesswork is gone-the prompts, design, cutting and sewing are already done for you. All you do is assemble the pages, add photos and journaling, and your book is complete. It comes in a beautiful, cloth-bound album and box.
During October, we'd like to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month by giving our readers the opportunity to purchase this meaningful album kit for a special price while donating to a great cause. For a limited time, the "All About Me" album can be purchased for $15 and for each book sold we'll donate $3 to support breast cancer initiatives.
Our goal is to give $100,000 to this great cause by the end of the year. I hope you'll help!
Cancer is a disease that touches the lives of millions-not only those who've been diagnosed or overcome the disease but also their families, friends and loved ones. The donation portion of this campaign is important as it contributes to ongoing research and development to help combat and eradicate the disease. But the album kit portion is also important because it gives us all a chance to sit down and create something meaningful.

Find joy in the journey.
