Walshie Lent 2012 fundraiser on behalf of Planned Parenthood
I'd like to invite all the ladies to look down their shirts and give a shout out to 'the girls'...
Kate Walsh. Oct. 2, 2010
DEAR WALSHIES,
It’s really very simple. Breast cancer kills. But the sooner cancer is discovered, the greater the chance of survival. More moms get to watch their children grow up, more friends grow old together, & more wives, sisters, aunts & cousins sleep peacefully at night.
But here’s the thing: breast cancer screening costs. And while anyone can get sick, not everyone can pay for screening. And this is where Planned Parenthood, one of Kate’s favorite organizations, makes a difference – by offering free screening to women in need. So we were wondering…
Life IS sweet – when sweets CAN SAVE lives.
Many of us give up something for Lent – sweets & candy being the main candidates. So our idea is for Walshies as a fandom to give up candy and chocolate for 10 days and donate the money to our Life is Sweet fundraiser.
And this is how you do it:
Instead of buying that chocolate bar or candy bag, write down how much money you didn’t spend and add it up at the end of the 10 days. Then all you need is a PayPal account. Hit the ‘Chipin’ button, make your donation, and leave a message for Kate. All donations are, of course, welcome! So Walshies, from 21st February – 1st March, let’s do it!
“It’s a beautiful day to save lives.”
Dr Derek Shepherd
