Hi all....

Since you all have been such a HUGE support with my husband having Neurofibromatosis - I thought I would share a way to give money back to the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation while you do your holiday (and the rest of the year!) shopping.

The first way is through something called www.igive.com. If you go to this link :

www.iGive.com/html/refer....useid=1026 (http://www.iGive.com/html/refer.cfm?memberid=381139&causeid=1026)

it will allow you to sign up. This allows you to shop -- get this -- over 400 STORES (like Barnes & Noble, ebay, Lands End, JC Penny, etc.) and a portion of all your purchases will go towards the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation - choose that as your charity!

I know that Steve my husband and I would be so pleased if you did. We are so close to finding something that will stop the tumors from growing - please help.

The SECOND way - is through a special link only to Amazon.com. While the previous www.igive.com is for over 400 stores (and why I mentioned it first!) this is for Amazon.com only!

If you go to

www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/neurofibromato01

this will allow you to shop all through Amazon.com and have a portion of your sale go to the NNFF!!!!

You are all such generous people. This year has shown me that life is about love, courage, and most of all...HOPE. Hope that things can get better, hope that people will help you, hope that there will be a cure.

I wish nothing but joy and blessings for all of you during this holiday season.

And I appreciate you considering using the above links...AND sharing them with all your friends and family.

Shopping is something we do anyway - in the spirit of the season, it would be most appreciated if you found it in your heart to use these links to help us.

Thank you!

Vester (Annette)

Thank you so much!

I have gotten a great response so far from this - I gave it to all my friends/family yesterday! I am so happy that people are forwarding that FIRST link on to other people. It will help because for every person etc. you get BONUS money that goes to the charity.

You guys have all been so great and such a support dealing with my husband - I KNEW I could count on you guys!

Thank you for using the first link (remember links to over 400 regular stores online!) and also distributing it to family and friends !!!

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! :tiphat
