In case you missed my blurb on Laura, it's here. I made a very small donation a week or two ago, and received a lovely handwritten thank you note from her yesterday. Although my muscle disease is (thankfully) in remission, the memory of it looms large when I see Laura. I understand all to well how much of a challenge this is for her, and it is my fondest hope that she will be able to compete in the games; she only has a few more weeks to come up with the funds (this is the Olympics of the horse world for those unfamiliar with it).
Feel free to help spread the word by creating your own post about this terrific lady (we'll take all the help we can get, but please let's make it happen :o) Thank you!
And kudos to Hope Hand, President of the USPEA for responding (in less than 60 seconds) to my email that their site was down; and she's already fixed it. Talk about being on top of things....WOW (Thanks Hope! :o)
Ann: I don't think you need a PayPal account; I believe you can just use your regular debit or credit card through the donation link. Otherwise, they'd miss out on an awful lot of donations :o)
FishHawk: Only if it generates any donations *grin*. It's times like this when I really hate being broke; I could only manage a small donation (if I could afford it - I'd write her a big, fat check ;o) Actually, now that I think about it, I hate being broke pretty much all the time (ha).
I would love to help, I don't have a paypal account though. Best wishes to Laura

Sure hope she gets her money. What a wonderful thing for you to do to try and get her some help. Have a marvelous Monday.
ReplyDeleteMarg: Thanks; me too! She's the oldest competitor on the team, and I really admire her pluck :o)
