MyLifeLine.org Connections - March 2012

 Greetings!

 

We say this all the time:  MyLifeLine.org Cancer Foundation believes that a strong support network is critical for cancer patients. Every day we provide free, personal websites to cancer patients and caregivers to help them easily connect with their family and friends, because no patient should ever be alone.  

It is true! Many of you sent me your story last month. There was a running theme that having a personal web site gave you a sense of community rallying around you. That you were not alone. We want that sense of community for everyone who finds themselves with the devastating diagnosis of cancer.  I want to thank you for your willingness to share your stories, provide feedback on how you have been helped by MyLifeLine.org, and giving suggestions on how we can improve our service.  

We need your help to help get the word out about MyLifeLine.org, so we can reach even more patients that can benefit from their communities rallying around them!  I am excited to announce the launch of a new  program called "Build the Momentum" . The idea of Build the Momentum is to allow friends, family and members to give back through fundraising and awareness building for MyLifeLine.org.  MyLifeLine.org "Build the Momentum" is a great way to turn any event into an awareness and fundraising opportunity!  For more information about this please visit Build the Momentum. Thank you again for choosing MyLifeLine.org as part of your journey.  Feel free to contact me at melissa@mylifeline.org

All the best to you! 
Melissa Bowen
