How Much To Donate?

Notice I did not ask “Do I donate or not?”
Let me put it this way. No donation is too big.
When I was preparing for my second journey a friend asked me how much I thought she should donate. I replied “what is the value of a woman’s life?” She had just given birth to a baby girl. I got a nice check. Quite frankly I look at it this way. It is hard to place a price on the value of a cure for Breast Cancer. Give what you can give. Just a few suggestions. If you are a smoker (and I hope you aren’t), how bout sacrificing the cost of a carton of cigarettes for a good cause. If you eat lunch out every day, how bout brown bagging for a week and donate the cash? I don’t spend dollar bills. I throw them into a jar and after a few months you would be amazed at how much money I accumulate. This is the money I use to buy extra Girl Scout Cookies, donate extra to the Relay for Life, Heart Association, Alzheimer’s, MS and other charities. .
As I have said before, and I will say again. I do the easy part. All I have to do is place one foot in front of the other for 3 days. You do the hard part. You write a check. Survivors and their families do the hardest part.
So go to my 3 Day Site, click on Make a Donation, choose Tampa Bay, and search for Claude Bryan. Every penny you give will be spent for the fight.

GIVE TIL IT FEELS GOOD!!!!
