Spirit Jump Update

A few weeks ago I sent out some spirit jumps. One was a pink ribbon fleece blanket I had made. It went to a young lady in Nevada who is battling breast cancer a second time. I hoped she would like it and didn't expect anything else. Imagine my happiness when I received a lovely card from her thanking me and telling me she was using the blanket! I felt good enough sending the blanket on its way; I had no idea I would actually get to hear that it was enjoyed! I sincerely hope that the blanket continues to make her feel a little cozier as she fights her battle!

For more information on becoming a spirit jumper. Visit the Spirit Jump website or the founder's blog "I kicked cancer's @ss". The links are both on the left side of the page.

On another note, 3-Day season is officially underway! If you're a Michigan crew member make sure you get your crew assignment form filled out ASAP!

Happy New Year!

If you're looking for a simple way to make 2009 better than 2008, I have just the thing for you! Meaghan, a young cancer survivor and owner of I Kicked Cancer's @ss, has started a new project called "Spirit Jump". The concept is a simple one. Cancer patients or their support folks email Meaghan to let her know that someone could use a little pick-me-up. Meaghan then emails her list of Spirit Jumpers. If there is a story that touches you, Meaghan will send the person's contact information to you. From there, you send a card or a small gift. The person feels better, you feel better and the world is a happier place for us all!
