We Need Your Help!

I received this e-mail from my Aunt Jerri. I would like to pass this on to my blogger buddies!


I need everyones help. I am asking that you, your family, and your place of employment start to collect bottle caps. It's so easy. The reason, every bottle cap collected will give one minute of FREE chemo to a child at CHKD. A program that is through The Boy Scouts of America and CHKD. An employee of Jernigan Oil Company (Ellen Jones) started me doing this. Put a gallon zip lock bag up in your house and drop them in, put a box out at your employment and have everyone drop them in. We all drink water, soft drinks, milk, orange juice, (any plastic bottle cap). Ellen has turned in enough caps so far for (165 hours) of free chemo hours. I am real proud of her. When you get any collected, call me and I will pick them up or simply drop them off at Jernigan Oil Company to Ellen. This will be going on to Dec. 31, 2009. Think how many caps we could collect by then. Remember........ONE CAP. ONE FREE MINUTE FOR A CHILD WITH CANCER. How can we not do something so simple? Pass this on to all of your contacts.

Thanks,
Jerri

************Note:
If you collect enough caps to turn in. You can turn in the caps to any (Duck Thru Food Store). I think there are enough Duck Thru's that a store is close enough to everyone. Please tell the store clerk to give them to Ms. Jerri Harrell, Michael Harrell or Ellen Jones at the home office. This way she could get them faster.

Thank you for your support in this matter. We never know when one of our children may need this (ONE FREE MINUTE OF CHEMO).

I got this email just now...what a great thing! A guy here at work is collecting bottle caps as well and I had no idea why...I bet it's for the same reason! I am participating...like you said you never know when your child may need help. And it's oh so simple to collect! Glad you shared on your blog! Oh..and what a sweet picture you have for your header!
