My name is Kim Scott & I'm an author from Maine. Most of my friends know I have Stage 4 a-typical Pulmonary Sarcoidosis attacking my lungs. There is no cure and the treatment plans are primarily experimental.

I've done chemo, IV therapy, injections, and massive doses of steroids. Last week I started the last treatment option available for me. More research is desperately needed. I refuse to give up so I'm throwing an online fundraiser! The proceeds will go to the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research. Join the Event at: https://www.facebook.com/events/1437745826532172/

Go Fund Me - Arlene needs surgery to rebuild leg

Arlene R. O’Neil is an animal lover, Army Mom, and author. She is the type that always has her hand out to give and would be the last person to ask for assistance. But now, Arlene finds herself in a dire situation. She needs her 5th total hip replacement. The titanium rod that connects the donor bone to what is left of Arlene’s femur is currently broken, and her entire prosthetic will need to be removed and rebuilt to regain use of her leg.

Arlene’s book, Broken Spokes, is the journey of her life. It speaks of the accident she experienced as a child and as a result her lifetime living with a disability. It delves into love and loss with the death of her husband at an early age and the challenges of raising a son alone. In fact, her son, Tanner, is now a SGT in the Army and has served his country for 13 years through 5 tours of duty, earning the Bronze Star as well as numerous other awards. He is still serving his county.

Arlene was never one to ask for hand-outs, she was the one that was always there to lend a hand. She was the giver. And now we want to give back to her.

Being on disability, Arlene’s insurance does not cover the overwhelming medical costs that her fourteen hour surgery will create or any assistance she will need after this complicated procedure. Arlene will have to hire people to assist during her five month recuperation process; help with the animals, yard care, house cleaning and personal care until she is recovered enough to resume these activities on her own.

She will need as much financial support as you can give to help her through her recovery period. Worrying about paying for needed medication and physical help should be the last of her worries. Arlene needs to be able to focus 100% on healing.
We also ask that people pray that Arlene has the strength to make it through this complex surgery and recovery.

Ngaire Elder: BIG FUNDRAISER FOR BORN FREE'S BIG CAT NAP WEEK!

BIG FUNDRAISER FOR BORN FREE'S BIG CAT NAP WEEK!

As you know Cecilia Spark supports animal protection and conservation and is a massive fan of elephants, lions and tigers, to name but a few! She wanted to do something for charity and had a wee chat with me. Cecilia Spark came up with a fantastalistic idea.

Here is what she suggested:

All profits

from the sale of my children's books

bought during the month of

June 2014

will be

donated to the

Born Free Foundation

in support of their

2014 BIG CAT NAP Campaign.

The following books qualify:

The Adventures of Cecilia Spark: Brimstone Forest

The Adventures of Cecilia Spark: the Mystical Mountains of Terra

The Adventures of Cecilia Spark: Dragon's Star
My Nature Friends

All sales count - ebook, audiobook or paperback.

Did you know:

There are probably less than 30,000 lions left in the wild, chiefly threatened by human-lion conflict and ineffective wildlife management. The situation is particularly serious in West and Central Africa, where the unique regional sub-species is vanishing. Dr Hans Bauer, a lion biologist working for WildCRU at the University of Oxford, supported by Born Free, is working with governments in the region to protect these highly endangered lion populations.

Born Free Foundation

How your money could help:

£5 could buy a vitamin boost for a rescued lion
£7 could fund a tiger protection officer for a day
£10 could feed a rescued cheetah cub for two days
£25 could buy binoculars to help a warden protect wild tigers
£40 could buy a rescued lion’s food for a week

A message from Born Free about the Big Cat Nap:

"The Big Cat Nap is an awareness and fundraising week for our work with big cats, those that are in danger in the wild plus those that need to be rescued and given a lifetime of care."

Why not take a photo of yourself reading one of Cecilia Spark's books and share it with us and your family and friends on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the #BigCatNap hashtag? We will select our favourite one to use to promote next year’s Big Cat Nap!
