A Challenge to you… I ask you to support our “1″ Corpsman.com Charity..

Happy July “1″ Folks!!

We at Corpsman.com have never picked a charity to support, until yesterday.

A bit of history:

My wife who used to be a FMF Doc herself got out of the Navy and went to school for her nursing degree, she is now a RN and works as a Stem Cell / ICU Nurse at the Cancer Treatment Center of America, and she is devoted to those who are afflicted with this terrible disease.  This Nurse has made it her life’s work to help those out who are dealing with this sickness.

So one of my loved ones deals with this on a daily basis and I hear the stories of what she see’s and deals with every day.  You can read her Write up’s over at her site “Everyday Memoir” and read about how she deals with the up’s and down’s of this tragic disease.  I honestly don’t know how she does it. She gets the “Bravery Medal” from me, I would be in a puddle sucking my thumb with despair.

Not her, she goes each day with a smile on her face no matter how her day is.  This RN Loves taking care of these diverse patients from all walks of life.

Next you have Brian Gardner who is the Gentleman (Who lives up in IL btw who knew?) who created our templates we use for Corpsman.com.  Self taught and is very helpful not only to his family, but all of us entrepreneurs who are trying to create content.  He works out of a “Starbucks’ A couple hours a day and is self taught in this business.  He is quick to help out those of us who are new to this whole world.

Well Brian is going to be doing the 3 Day Chicago Walk for Breast Cancer.  He will be doing 60 miles in 3 days.  We at Corpsman.com have already donated to him, what I am asking you all to do is to Sponsor him too! Just Wack the link above and it will bring you to the official site for donations.

You might ask “Why isn’t Da-Chief doing it?” Well Folks my days of doing 25 mile humps in a day etc are over.  I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and my knee’s, ankles and other joints would not be able to take it.

But Brian Can, and we can help him during this event to support him.  We at Corpsman.com can show that Doc’s do care!! Read what he wrote about below and why he is doing the walk….

Join Me in the Fight Against Breast Cancer

From time to time, I will be posting this on the front page on my blog. The reason is simple. I get a lot of new visitors each week, and need to raise a large amount of money.It’s a great cause, so please read on…

I’m asked by many people how they can repay me for my help with WordPress Themes. Whether it be solving bugs, customizing themes that I make free to the public, or simply taking the time to respond to emails and comments. If you want to know how you can repay me, read below and you’ll see.

It’s all about karma, and making the world a better place.

On August 8th of this year, I will once again lace up my shoes for the Chicago Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk, and start an emotional journey that will take me 60 very long and grueling miles from the suburbs to downtown Chicago. This walk will be hot, this walk will be painful. There will be sweat, and there will be tears.

Most importantly, this walk will benefit women and help to save lives.

I am required to raise a minimum of $2,200 to participate in the event. By the time that you finish reading this, two more women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and another one just died from it. In fact, while I am walking those 60 miles, 110 women will die from this horrible disease. 110 families will lose a mother, or a daughter, or a best friend.

That is why I walk.

I don’t walk to get recognition. I don’t walk because I want people to think of me a hero. I walk so that a little girl can grow up and spend time with her mother. I walk so that a mother can watch her daughter walk down the aisle at her wedding. I walk so that I don’t have to console another friend while a part of her life was taken too soon. I walk because I am physically able to, while others are not. I walk because I have been given so much, and I want to give back as much as I can.

I walk, because I cannot walk away…

So I ask that you help us in this cause.  When you go to the page to sign up, please put in the comments area that you are a member of Corpsman.com.  This is the only “OFFICIAL” Chartity I will be soliciting for each year.   As long as Brian is walking we will try to support him.

Thanks!!
