Holiday Shopping

Hi everyone! Owen needs your help in saving his good friend Gwendolyn, and all of her peers.

First of all I want everyone to know that if you do any online shopping this season (or ever), please start at this site: http://www.shoptoendsma.com/. It's so easy, the link is on the side of my blog and all you do is enter this site, find the store you want to enter and a percentage of what you buy goes directly to curing SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). That's it! It doesn't cost you a dime more and there are hundreds of stores on that site, like Amazon.com, Sears.com, Oldnavy.com, etc.... Please check it out, it takes no more than than one second to hit this site first and your done!
If you need holiday cards or stationary, there is a great company called Rock Scissors Paper http://www.rockscissorpaper.com/ that will donate, AND give YOU a savings! If you use the coupon code GSF9, you will get 10% off the entire shop! The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation will get 15% of all sales that use this coupon code!

Our dear friends, Bill and Victoria Strong have done an incredible job in raising awareness about their daughter, Gwendolyn's disease. SMA is the #1 genetic killer of children under the age of two. BUT, there is promising research that is being done as I type this and is VERY close to fruition. The more money they have, the more people they can hire to work and the faster they can come up with a cure. The clock is ticking for many parents of children with this horrible disease, so if you can take one second to start your online shopping at http://www.shoptoendsma.com/ first, you will be making a difference immediately. Let's help them!
Oh and if you haven't yet signed the petition, please go to http://www.petitiontocuresma.com/ and take 30 seconds to sign, and tell your friends! You can learn more about the Strongs by following their blog at http://www.gwendolynstrong.com/

Thank you!!
