    I apologize for taking so long to get the breast cancer Contribution sorted out.

    Initially, I posted to donate the money to the Komen Foundation. Now I am going to keep the money!!!

    NO......

    If anyone has any objections to my donating the money to Eryn, our own JWD poster, please let me know in PM, and I will send that part of the contribution to the Komen Foundation. Your pm will be kept anonymous.

    Considering her circumstances, I felt good knowing that the donation could directly go to someone we "know"

    Snakes has already sent his money to me and I will add mine for a total contribution of $113.00.

    We love you eryn,

    Leslie

    I wasn't going to comment because I didn't get to donate. But the thread is getting ignored.

    I second that motion.

    purps...

    As I told you, I have no objection to what you propose...people I have met personally know her....and erynw is a intregal part of our JWD community with her witty humor..more importantly...her strong will despite a tough battle..knowing that she has lots of low spots...and good friends to get her through those times.

    HOWEVER...I am still going to make a donation to the Komen Foundation this week. When I last posted an update, there were 40 posters..one last minute person posted...so the final count of different posters was 41....I will just round up to $50 my donation to the Foundation...in addition to the money I sent to Leslie (which was more than the original pledge, considering where it was going...)

    There was some matching challenges other than mine:...

    I'll match Purps' challenge $1 for $1 up to the first $100 to the Komen Foundation

    (41.00)

    Purps through down the gauntlet and said $1 for each poster....

    For every pink ribbon posted on this thread I will donate ONE DOLLAR to the Komen Foundation in the name of JWD!!!!!

    ($41.00..a heck, I will round up to $50......chi ching...total $91.00)

    Erynw said she would make a matching donation equaling the total:

    Tell you what, I will MATCH whatever purps calculates for the pink ribbon posting donations. I believe the fight is this important.

    ...which was 41 different posters. ($41.00 chi ching....$132.00)

    Sad Emo:said they would make a matching donation equaling the total of both purps and erynw in Sterling

    I'm also going to match whatever purps calculates - but in equal sterling, so at the current rate (), I'll be matching purps and erynw's combined total. I'll be donating it to the Jayne Garforth Support Centre situated in our local Macmillan unit.

    so...(41 times two = 82 posts times British pound {2.064:1.00 exchange} = $169.264 US)..I won't hold Sad Emo to that...LOL...I hope the online calculator works.

    so that is $301.264 US dollars...if I figured it right...thanks to all who posted ..whether it was in support or not..your posts counted

    If anyone would like to match a donation to either the Komen Foundation...or the Jayne Garforth Support Centre situated in our local Macmillan unit...or a local cancer charity/hospital/research center in your neck of the woods...go for it....
