Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year, when family and friends come together in the spirit of fellowship, celebration and love. It’s a magical time like no other, a time when it truly does feel better to give than to receive.
And with the spirit of Christmas in mind, members of the blogging community have come together to support a fellow blogger and a cause that is near and dear to her heart. Catherine, a.k.a. Her Bad Mother, has brought love, laughter and a strong sense of community to the blogsphere and this is a chance for us to give our support, hope and love back to her and her family.
If you’re here, you probably know the story of Catherine’s nephew Tanner and his battle with Muscular Dystrophy. It is our hope that with this auction we can raise awareness about Muscular Dystrophy and funds for Muscular Dystrophy Research worldwide, but we also want reach out to Tanner directly, to let him know there are people out there who care.
How can we do that? How can you do that? Easy. Every kid loves getting mail, and Tanner’s no exception. This year, while your children are writing their letters to Santa, have them write a letter or draw a picture for Tanner, too. They can tell Tanner a little bit about themselves, like what grade they’re in or what their favourite subjects are in school. They can tell him about their favourite cartoons and movies or share with him a funny joke – they could even pick out a sheet or two of stickers to send along. This holiday season, let’s show our kids that while the best part of Christmas may be ripping open the carefully wrapped presents from under the tree, putting a smile on a little boy’s face is pretty special, too.
You can send letters to:
Letters for Tanner
1518 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON
M6R 1A4

…and when you do, know you are making one little boy’s world a little brighter.
Thank you.
*Here's a letter that's on its way to Tanner right now.
