It's one of those things that i meant to look into, but of course, forgot. This is a challenge to others on the list. We tell Jim all the tim how much his time and effort mean to us, let's put some money behind our woords. After all, the cause is TM. Isn't that why we're on this website. How about a donation or two from every state ad country? Is anyone else up tp the challenge?It was easy, I just went through the site listed in Deborah's memo. Michigan just donated!---- Deborah Nord Capen wrote: > Hi Everybody,> I am writing to say that I am just slightly disappointed at the lack of response to Jim's request to participate in this fundraiser. Out of the 100-plus people that are signed up with this list, only about 5-6 have responded. Jim has slipped into second place in the contest.> > For all that Jim has done for us, is it too much to ask for you to help out by just donating as little as $10.00? It is because of Jim that we have this list to participate in, sharing all of our TM experiences and making world-wide friendships. Jim is a very humble man and one of my best friends. He does not ask for much. It is a lot of work for him to keep updating our website and search for ways to earn money for a cure and for newer, better treatments for transverse myelitis. Jim is very devoted to this, and he never asks for anything in return.> > Can't we all just help this one time? If I have guilted even one or two of you into making a donation, then I feel that I have succeeded, but Jim needs 8 donations to gain first place again. And remember that Yahoo will match whatever amount that the first place winner achieves, thus doubling the donation!> > Please, let's all do this, if not for our own progress in looking for better treatments for TM, then just for Jim.
