Two nights ago, after a two year valiant battle with esophageal cancer, my brother Leo passed away. He died the way he wanted, at home in the arms of his wife. We bury him Monday.

PLEASE.

Give all you can to worthy charities.

Thank you all for the kind words,

Please consider a donation to a Cancer Charity in your area.

Please enjoy this song by one of his favourite bands (The Police) and think good thoughts.

The smallest coin here, the 25 øre coin, has been abolished, so I donated my last 25 øre coins to a worthy cause: SOS Children Villages.

I have just made a donation in memoriam of your brother.

Oh, and by the way, I support The Pink Ribbon Campaign in October every year...

Thanks again everyone! Again and again!

All these charities need money but they also need volunteers (Us BOINCers know about volunteering!) and resources. If you feel the need to help, get in touch with your local charity and see what it is that you can do for them. You may just end up saving someone or, at the very least, make their lives a little easier.

Thank You Fuzzy, that's very kind and I'm sure that your donation will help someone get through a terrible time in their life.

My Mother, Sister and Aunt have all endured Breast Cancer so that is also a cause close to my heart.
