CNN coverage of the IOCDF Rally

[LNN]

Yesterday, Denis Asselin reached Boston. His walk, to honor his son who suffered from body dysmorphic disorder, was pretty inspiring. He raised $17,000 for the IOCDF. Here's the CNN story http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/07/health/asselin-walking-finish/index.html?eref=rss_topstories&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_topstories+%28RSS%3A+Top+Stories%29&utm_content=My+Yahoo

 

Just before I went to the rally, I bought a thank you card. I wrote a thank you note for the IOCDF to give to someone who's donated funds to Pandas research. I don't know who will end up getting the card, but I wanted to personally thank a donor who's willing to support research. Last year, IOCDF changed its giving guidelines and now lets you direct your donation toward a specific area - maybe BDD research, Pandas, or just a general fund to be used as IOCDF sees fit. If you're in a position where you can't donate but would like to thank those who can, you can send a thank you note to the IOCDF Development Director, who can then pass it on to a donor.

 

The same idea would apply to the other Pandas organizations, to Latitudes, or to any non-profit who touches your life (or all of them). If you can't give with money, consider giving thanks that can be passed along to donors.

That was a good article. The rally was great and I felt honored to be there at the end of his journey. And Laura and Kara, it was great meeting you
