Okay, guys, so here's the deal. I'm sort of posting this just because it's awesome, and a great thing.
Everyone knows about Saint Jude Children's Hospital, which is an amazing place, and they do very awesome things. I donate every year at the holiday times to them to help with their cause.
Though, I am personally amazed by Duke Children's Hospital at Duke University, located in Durham, North Carolina. Every year at Valentine's Day I go up and work the radio-thon taking phone calls for people pledging donations, and every year it's an amazing event.
Duke Children's Hospital is a completely privately funded hospital. Though, he's the catch, when you make a donation to the hospital, the money you donate, 110% of it goes to the children. Every single donation goes to the children! Which is awesome, there's no administartion fees, no money goes to any of the Doctor's or Nurses. It all belongs to the kids. The money raised and donated goes to do things like bring in magicians or clowns for the kids to be entertained with. Money also goes to help children be able to go to Kamp Kladescope, which is a summer camp for kids with medical conditions that wouldn't allow them to go to normal summer camp. Though, the coolest part of K.K. is that, they have a medical staff on hand to help the kids. Another cool thing they do, is like when you go, you get to meet kids with the same medical condition you have. This is a truly amazing place.
Duke Children's Hospital reaches out to patients all across the world, and all across the country. They truly reach out and help save lives and help with advancement in medicine to save lives. They also do really kick ass stuff, like one of the biggest allergies affecting kids is Peanut Allergies. The staff at Duke Children's Hospital is on the break of curing peanut allergies. They've actually got a study going where they have kids who peanut allergies, where...

Infact, I want to share a link with you all:
Abron Kelly’s Story
So, here's where this is all leading to. Today, November 1, 2009 is my 30th birthday, and I have a birthday wish!
My birthday wish:
I wish that I can achieve a minimium of 10 people to donate $30 dollars to Duke Children's Hospital. 10 x $30 = $300 that will be used for the children for something special for them. Think about it, let's say you buy a soda from the gas station, or you go out to eat with your family, or you go and rent movies. Perhapes instead of doing those things, you donate the money that you would do those things with.
This is a very special place, with very special people in it. I've been lucky to be able to tour the entire hospital, and even get to go up onto the notorious Fifth floor which is where the patient rooms are. It's a wonderful place, that does wonderful things.
I wish that everyone would find it in their hearts to reach out and help make a difference.
If you're interested in making a donation you can go here:
Give a Gift.
If you make a donation, you don't have the publically say it, but just forward the confirmation e-mail to me to let me know you did. It would mean a lot to not just me, but to the children at Duke Children's Hospital.
Thank you to everyone for taking time to read this.
