The Starting Line

I hope you have taken the opportunity to read the Welcome post first. If not I would recommend doing so at this time before proceeding.

Thank you all for taking the time to stop by and check this out. I hope that most or all of you will contribute in some way to the success of this new organization. This is literally Day one of our group, so we are starting from the ground and working our way up. I purposefully launched this website and group today because it is Elias first birthday. After all, he is one of the inspirations for coming up with this idea.

As I mentioned this is the very beginning and for this to be a success, it will take all kinds of individual talents. Besides runners, we need great organizers & planners, writers, researchers, artists, dreamers, idea makers, well-connected people, and enthusiastic do it all/whatever you need types. No contribution is too small if it works towards our goal of raising awareness for FA. Also, being from all over the place helps us cover more ground and more events. That equates to more awareness for our cause. You would be amazed how the power of a well designed shirt, or a catchy logo can have on engraining something in someone's mind. When they remember a cause, they donate and the more money we can raise the more we can help the individuals battling this disease.

I hope that you will all take a moment to fill out the interest form, the link is in the Want to Join the Cause section on the right. Also, please join our discussion group too. There is more information there about just how much positive we can do for so many people, with FA and without. I am extremely open to input in these beginning stages to make this yet another FAntastic FA organization aimed at having the same positive effects and success. Welcome to the starting line of a race against a terrible disease and the quest to make more individuals aware of this. To educate people on the importance of bone marrow donation and the many other ways individuals can help without having to give financially. Thank you all again for your interest and talents towards making the dream of a cure a step closer to the finish line and a reality.
