Your kind words!

I have received so many e-mails, messages and calls these last few days since i posted this blog. I feel happy to be back in the thick of cancer activism. As some of you know, I founded an NGO for cancer advocacy which is now run by others.

I am so enthused about this book, mainly because it will provide first hand experience to a person who is acting as caregiver to a cancer survivor. I wish a book like this existed when I was going through it all!

Anyway, whilst a lot of excitement has been generated, sadly, there is no movement on the funds save for the RM25,000 I have banked in as my contribution and a RM100 contribution from someone (please do e-mail me so I can send you your LIVESTRONG wrist bracelet).

Perhaps it is a sign of the times we live in. Or maybe as a friend of mine said: you are too subtle in asking for money.

Whatever the case may be, here goes: please contribute money for me to get this book published and all the proceeds given to cancer charities. I am reluctant to work with traditional publishers (a few have approached me) because they do not share in our charitable visions, and the quantities are relatively small.

Once again I appeal to you to take a moment and please do give what you can to help. As mentioned in an earlier post, I will reward all contributors with either a LIVESTRONG wrist bracelet, an autographed copy of the book or Acknowledgements (if you so wish) depending on the level of contribution.

So friends, please reach into your pockets and give!

My thanks, God bless and may you all have a great weekend...
