Books for a Cause

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you might know that I hold a special place in my heart for those battling cancer. I also hold a special place for young people. And today I'd like to introduce you to one of the most amazing young people I've ever met. Her name is Tiffany.

Here are some things Tiffany is: beautiful, happy, smiling, laughing, joking, optimistic and incredibly inspirational. Tiffany would be all of those things even if she wasn't in a fight for her life. But considering that she is, she's downright amazing. Tiffany has been fighting a very rare cancer for two years now. Through it all she's been so downright happy that most folks forget what she's going through. Last month doctors realized her latest round of chemo wasn't working. So they sent her home, with the hopes that when she turns 18 (in July) she could enter a study for late-stage cancer patients that is very promising. Trouble is, she needs the help of some medication for her to last that long. And the medicine costs $11,000 per month! You can imagine the burden that puts on a family that has been paying for cancer treatment for two years. You can read her whole story here.

So if you feel like you can help Tiffany, please click on the widget on the right and offer a donation. Grabbing the widget for your own blog would be great too. For the months of June and July I'll be donating the proceeds of any paperback purchases of ExtraNormal through Amazon. And I have to say the paperback version is so stunning you really shouldn't pass that up.

So pretty simple. It's a great cause for a great girl. Thanks so much.
