Help somebody this weekend.

Ok it's Friday and I know a lot of us, myself included, are getting ready for weekend time, but before you crack open your frosty beverage, I'd like to ask you to think about some people who are going to be spending their weekend trying to help others. If you can, please help support them and these great causes!

This weekend, Courtney will be participating in the Boston AIDS Walk 2008.

As of this writing, she only needs about $150.00 to reach her fund raising goal of $1,000.00.

Please consider heading over to her AIDS Walk fund-raising page and giving what you can. It won't take much to push her over the top! You can read the story about why she walks, here.

I also received an e-mail today from Soldiers Angels. They are gearing up to send thousands of cooling scarves to our U.S. Service Men and Women who are serving in Iraq.

Here is a little bit of info about these scarfs:

"The "magic" in these COOLING SCARVES comes from hundreds of tiny, hidden polymer crystals.

When they are soaked just 15 minutes in cold water, they swell up with that water and stay ice cold.

They are designed to stay cold for 48 hours. But in the searing desert heat of Iraq, they typically cool a soldier for about 15 hours before needing to be "recharged" in water.

When a soldier wraps a COOLING SCARF around the back of their neck, it has an incredible cooling effect... making the overwhelming heat bearable again."

Soldiers Angels' goal is to make sure all of our Service Men and Women have at least one cooling scarf.

If you can, please try and help them to reach this goal! Go here to donate!

Thanks for reading this. Have a great weekend!
