My Friend

Jenny Reeder is a friend of mine and was diagnosed with leukemia in November. She went from being a full-time PhD Student to being a full-time patient, dedicated to beating the cancer that was attacking her body. Where her days were filled with reading, writing, and researching, they are now comprised of chemo, shots, rest and lots of waiting. With two months down and two years to go, cancer-beating has proved to be a very expensive ordeal! In an effort to help Jenny with her expenses, her friends have put together an auction in which retailers/moms/students/etsy shops/friends/family/anyone can donate time and talents for sale and all the proceeds go to Jenny’s treatment fund.

The Auction will be held on Valentine’s Day, February 14th from 9am-10pm EST.

Jenny is overwhelmed with all the love she has already received since her diagnosis, and stresses that no one should feel any obligation to participate in the auction. If you would like to participate, here are a number of ways to do so:

1. Donate a service/talent/craft/product to the We Love Jenny Auction (donating instructions here)
2. Purchase any of the wonderful services/talents/crafts/products available at the auction on February 14th (bidding instructions here)
3. Spread the word through FB, Twitter or your blog.And to learn more about Jenny (which EVERYONE should because she is a most incredible person), check out her blog here.

Thank you!
