I came across the most touching thing I've seen in a long time and I had to tell you about it. I know you have been generous with donations in the past so I thought you'd like to know about this. An 11-year-old cancer patient has started a fundraiser to help other children with cancer. He's doing it through scrapbooking!

When he first started treatment, his aunt gave him a scrapbooking kit and he was able to document his journey. This really helped him cope with the stress and now he wants other children to be able to do the same. He decided he'd like to put together scrapbooking kits to send out to all the kids in the area with cancer. However, the local businesses in Canada (where he lives) have been reluctant to help. He's only raised about $250 total! I decided I would use my powers for good and let you know about it.

I thought you might be interested in donating some of your unwanted products to this little guy to help him out, post it on your blogs or simply let your friends know about it. It seems so noble, and the fact that this kid is trying to share the hobby with others only makes it better. He is affiliated with Kids with Cancer Society and is able to provide a tax receipt for write-offs.

I will be sharing this in the upcoming business newsletter but I wanted to post it here too. I have a feeling it will inspire you just as much as it has me. Anyway, I hope you are able to help him with his project. Here's the website where you can get more information and read his story. http://www.freewebs.com/scrapingwithcancer/.
