DS Friends:Let's make a difference - together!We all know that hugs and support are important, but so is money. Money provides the research and resources to help the ill and find answers to diseases and challenges.With that in mind, I am planning to donate some money to health-related charities, and I want you to help. I will donate two grants of $1,000 each to charities that you, my DS friends, help me select. I plan to donate the money before October 31 (a week from today). The rules are simple:1. Write a journal entry - text or video. Tell us about a health-related challenge that is affecting you, someone you love, or just the world in general. Please note:a) Make sure your journal entry is visible to "everyone".b) Tell us specifically what non-profit organization you would like to fund. c) It must be health-related, and it must be a non-profit. 2.  After you've posted your journal, send a message to "Doug" on DailyStrength (click on MY MESSAGES, then SEND A MESSAGE). Let us know that you've posted a journal entry about the Charity Grant. We'll handle the rest. 3. We'll review all of the journal entries and post links so others can see them. This is not a popularity contest...there's no voting. We're simply looking for a great place to put some money that can make a difference. We'll read all of the journal entries and comments, and we'll announce a decision around the end of this week. Thank you in advance for sharing your story, and taking action to help make the world a better place. Doug
