Thanks everyone! I also added an update and wall post to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Facebook page!

We announced the event on our blog and are telling our blogger friends.
We are donating items, thus are not interested in winning any prizes, just wanted to show our support.
We hope many bloggers and moms come together to bring awareness Blood Cancer.
Your friends at Go Natural Baby
wowi realy hope thay can find a way to stop all forms of cancer and i must say this is a grate cause thanks
good luck to all
My sister had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and went through 6 months of chemo. She was told that it looked like she was clean when chemo was over but it came back stronger. She had full body radiation and a bone marrow transplant on 8/28/2001. So far so good but she must check in with her doc every six months.
Great cause! I've emailed 5 friends and I would like the American Express Gift Card. Thanks for the contest.
A great contest for a good cause
Lymphomia touches everyone. There is no age that is not affected. You see My Son was diagnosed with Non-hodkins in January 08, he has one more chemo and hopefully will be in remission. God Bless
I don't want a prize. I just want to say thank you for bringing attention to blood cancers. I'm a non Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor, but many folks assumed that a 40-something mom like me must have had breast cancer. It's time we shed the light on blood cancers, which are rapidly increasing.
I joined your blogging efforts here: http://mommasaid.net/howsjen.aspx
Thanks!

Today, my blog encourages folks to get involved in a Light the Night Walk. I also discuss my husband's career diagnosing cancer cells.
(prize, still interested in the non-baby items like the 50.00 amex card)
I don't blog but do include links and articles in emails to family and friends as we are dealing with cancer in our family- then again- who doesn't know someone with cancer these days?
Sent to a bunch of family and friends
Fabulous idea!
I've added the links & wrote up a brief (well, maybe not so brief) story about my very dear friend who lost the battle with Non-Hodgkins in 1998.
