Well, we have a celebrity among us... most of you know Kim Chrane as she
was one of the original members of this list and is actively involved in
brain tumor community outreach and activities.



She has recently been a guest on two radio shows and has been honored with a
fundraiser for her participation (see below) in the LIVESTRONG Challenge
with the Lance Armstrong Foundation.



In support of her efforts, I would like to help by donating ALL Braingels
profits from now until September 12 (her deadline) to her cause. So, if you
are in the market for some brain tumor awareness jewelry, sterling silver,
Swarovski crystals or a combination of each*, please visit
www.braingels.photosite.com <http://www.braingels.photosite.com/> You can
help her reach her goal for the LIVESTRONG Challenge and get a jump on your
holiday shopping at the same time!



A copy of her email is included below.

Subject: A Special Request for Your Support



Please consider joining my Team in the 5k Walk at the LIVESTRONG CHALLENGE
as a fellow Brain Cancer Survivor!





When I first found out about my brain tumors, I was scared, angry and
worried for my family and myself. As I experienced treatment, the side
effects, the emotional ups and downs, the more I wanted to fight to beat the
disease. I did not want to let cancer take away my health, my hope or my
life.

More than 10 million Americans are currently living with, through or beyond
cancer, and more than 1.3 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with
cancer this year alone.

In honor of my own personal battle with brain cancer and the millions of
people affected, I'm participating in the LIVESTRONG Challenge. I'm going to
walk the 5k and raise at least $15,000 for the Lance Armstrong Foundation
which was founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist, Lance
Armstrong, to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. I would be
interested in crafting some jewelry here in NH to add to monies for
donation/sale as a fundraiser and give me something to do--getting a little
stir crazy, would this be of consideration - start light with something easy
to mass produce that require time and not much overhead.

I know I can do this with the support of friends like you. Would you please
consider making a donation? You can donate online at
livestrongchallenge.org.

Thank you in advance for your time and generosity. I'll keep you updated on
my fundraising and training progress as I prepare for the event.

Kim
