Challenge!!!!

***Update on 9/20/08...check out www.marrow.org to find out why bone marrow donors are so important and how to go about becoming a donor--from what I hear it's pretty easy. I'm so excited about the Jewelry Set giveaway...I've started creating the pieces and I think they'll ROCK (as Hayden would say)***

Okay, so I'm going to sign up to be a bone marrow donor. I figure if I have something that can save someone's life...why not give it??
So, I'm doing it...my goal is to do whatever it is I have to do to be tested, accepted, etc. by October 15th.

Who else is on board to do this with me? (By the way, I have to give credit where credit is due--Joni, my very wise mother-in-law, gave me the idea and she's going to sign up too!)

I may even do a drawing...ohhhh this would be good...(can you tell I'm making this up as I go along?!)
The drawing would include a Necklace, Bracelet and Earring Set (Average Value: $130) from my new collection line which is not set to launch until November.

To be eligible for the give away you must do one of the following by October 15th:

  • Become a BONE MARROW DONOR
  • Make a donation to The Common Bond Project
  • Buy a Faith, Hope and Love Bracelet

**Bonus Points**

  • If you tell a friend about this...and you both do something from the list above then I'll put your name in the drawing twice. **Note--the person you tell needs to be someone not familiar with this blog**

Get the idea? Tell me what you think? I'm excited...

Also, for those in the Middle Tennessee area...I'm tossing around the idea of doing a few parent's night out fundraisers to make money for my 501(c)3...would any of you be interested? (I'm not ready to commit at this point, I'm just throwing it out there--I may need to contact Dr. Brian for some valium first) :)

Hey Monica... I am on the Bone Marrow registry. It is actually very easy. I did it a year or so ago. Also, you know I am always up for a Parents Night Out!!

I'll have to check back to see how it goes for you! I don't know why, but I've never been able to actually make the leap to do this! It kinda scares me!
