In 3 - 5 minutes, you can help make a wish come true today
Sam Callahan, the son of a Realtor in Silicon Valley, is 14 years old
and has cancer which is not responding to two different types of
chemotherapy. His cancer, Ewing's Sarcoma, had metasticized before it
was discovered on September 22nd.
Sam writes about his battle with Ewing's Sarcoma on the
Sam's Team website .
He is an amazing 8th grader with a good attitude who wants to beat this
thing. If you read his "about Sam" page, you'll find he's a great
writer, too.
Normally, we can feel very helpless to "do anything" besides offer our compassion, thoughts and prayers.
But
this time, there IS something you can do, and it only takes a couple of
minutes. It may not change how he feels after radiation or chemo, but
it will lift his spirits and those of his family and friends to see an
outpouring of support. And it will help Sam and his family to make a
little goal they've set up for themselves.
In addition to the
website, Sam's family & friends have a "fan page" on Facebook. It's
called I'm On Sam's Team. Their modest goal is to have 5000 fans by St.
Patrick's Day. I'd like to help them get there. As of this moment, they
have 2608 fans. They want people to know about Ewing's Sarcoma and they
want people to know about Sam and his battle with this cancer.
What To Do: So, my Active Rain friends, I know a lot of you are on Facebook. If not, this might be the right time to join!
1. Please take a moment and log into Facebook.
2. Go to the Search bar and key in I'm On Sam's Team or use this link once you're logged in:
http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=261410896243&ref=ts 3. At the very top, in the middle, there's a button which says Join Group - click on it
That's
it. How easy it is to send some support and encouragement! Of course,
read through the website and the FB page too! But it only takes a
minute to "fan" a page.
Join us on Sam's Team!
