I just got this email from a dear friend of mine:

I am writing this to ask you all for your help. The help is not for me,it’s for a friend of mine. She is one of the kindest and gentlest souls I have ever known. And she has been given some very hard news.

She has stage 4 cancer and has been given 6 months to live.

Last month she collapsed suddenly and was rushed to a nearby hospital where it was discovered that a tumor covered a third of her brain. Emergency surgery was performed, and while a good portion of it was removed, the docters are 99% sure that it will grow back. She has spent the last month re-learning how to talk and walk only to be given the full truth of her situation once adequately recovered.

She is now in the process of change. She is letting go of all of the things that have not served her in the past that she no longer has the time or energy for. She is looking forward to all of the things she’s ever wanted to do in her life. She is not giving up and is holding on to that 1% left to her.

Her name is Beth and I ask that you add her to your prayers.

Now for the big help. Beth has always wanted to see the Northern Lights. I am putting together a collection to help her go. A friend of hers has a cabin in Canada where there is a good view of them in August. She just needs travel and food money.

In a time in most peoples lives when most people are enjoying relatively decent health and energy and the prospect of watching ones family grow up Beth has been thrown the most horrid of curve balls. Knowing that your days are short will certainly put everything into perspective.

If you can help, even if it is just for a dollar, please hit the paypal button and stick something about Beth in the title line....from Beth, her family and friends, thank you in advance....the donation button is in the left hand column near the top.

I will keep you updated.
