Some of you may remember that about a week ago I posted about helping SM research. If you haven’t seen it, here is the link http://board.cavaliertalk.com/showthread.php?t=18410. In this discussion I asked people who love and care about the breed to make donations to Clare Russbridge’s research. I have always believed and will continue to believe that research is the key to the SM problem we are facing in this wonderful breed.
Over the past couple days I have been working with Karlin and Penny Knowler regarding a specific project that money is needed for. Clare Russbridge is looking for help for a project at Image Center in LA. They need $830 to do a couple very important scans to help with the research into SM. I think this is where we at CavalierTalk could really help. If we all chipped in and helped just a little, that little help per person could easily become what is needed for the LA project, maybe more. I am also posting on the Connection with the same appeal. And if we exceed the goal of $830, the excess will be sent to Clare to be used where she feels it will do the most good.
So let’s all dig deep and help out, with the idea that our contributions are helping preserve our wonderful Cavaliers. Who knows, maybe years from now our contributions will be acknowledged as helping to be the salvation of the breed. I feel very strongly about this; strongly enough that I will match all contributions up to a maximum of $250. I wish it could be more, but I donated a fairly significant amount (at least for me) about 3 months ago.
So now for the nuts and bolts. You may contribute through Penny Knowler using Pay Pal at [email protected] . Just indicate it’s for the LA project. Or, if you’re like me and have a hard time with this new-fangled computer stuff, you may also send a check made out to to me and I will forward it on to Penny; just PM me for details.
Whether you donate by Pay Pal or by check, please PM me so I can keep track what is contributed and by whom. I will post on a regular basis with the totals so we will all know where we are with the goal. The amount donated by the individuals will be kept in strictest confidence; only I will ever know what any individual has contributed, and that’s only because I have to keep track of where we are with the goal. Oh, and if you already donated based on my previous post, let me know what that amount is and I will include it in the total.
So let’s get this drive going!! Help out our breed, even if it’s only a couple dollars; every little bit helps.
