The Kids

On July 17th, 2008, my mom and I will be going to jail. We haven't broken any laws, but we'll be locked up until we raise our bail. It's going to be rough, but we're committed to taking a stand.

The goal is to raise money for the MDA -- the money goes to support not only the amazing research that the MDA does, but also to send kids to camp to get support from other kids just like them, to buy medical equipment for kids who need it, and so many other wonderful things as well.

The reason I'm sharing this with you is because we need your help. Our goal is to raise $2500 in the next few weeks. I know it sounds like a lot (and it is!) but if everyone donates $5 and spreads the word to 2 or 3 friends, I think we can do it.

What's in it for you? Glad you asked! I will have prizes for the highest donation as well as three random donors. I've not decided on the prizes, yet, but they will be fabulous!

We only have a couple of weeks to reach the goal, so please donate today. Simply visit my MDA website and donate securely online. If you're not sure about that, email me at monkeyknits @ gmail DOT com and we'll set up an alternate payment plan.

If you can't donate today, please spread the word to your friends -- perhaps they can help! Truly, every dollar will help.

Thank you in advance! I'm excited to see what we can do together.
