Feeling compelled to write a little something so you all keep checking in for the real news. I received an email from Susan B. Komen group to vote for their charity in the Chase Community Giving....hmmmmmmmmmm really?
Strength for Life so needs those votes, so needs a chance at $25,000, is that short sighted? Of course it is, Susan B. Komen needs $25,000 - a donation/grant/gift means so much to all of us. I wrote a return email- that I would cast a vote for them if they would cast a vote for Strength for Life...we are all in this together!
Our mission is about helping others struggling with the effects of cancer. Strength for Life is about promoting exercise to assist cancer patients/survivors feel their absolute best during their treatment and recovery. $25,000 is a huge amount to Strength for Life at this stage - a Long Island based organization with all volunteer services - $25000 goes directly to the promotion and education of exercise to cancer patients/survivors.
Chase allows 20 votes to different charities, I have cast quite a few for other organizations perhaps at the cost of our own - but they all deserve the opportunity, their missions are pure! As Debbie and I talk with more and more support groups, we realize how in sync we are with that one cause - to help others. We will all have our time to shine -nice for it to be sooner than later - but it is always about the journey. For us, it is about each individual we get to know, to share our information and assist their full recovery/transformation to fitness/wellness.
