Virtual fundraiser for Spencer Shores & family
Whether you're a parent or not, I'm sure that you've experienced the feeling of helplessness while reading Mike Shore's (MadMike) posts about his son Spencer and his battle with cancer. Personally, I can't begin to imagine what it's like for a family to go through an ordeal like this. I'm sure it's way more emotionally and financially taxing than any of us can fathom.
When something like this happens there is an immediate outpouring of emotional and financial help. There have been several fund-raising events here in Phoenix to help offset the massive medical bills that the Shores family is facing, but those took place quite a while ago. With the return of Spencer's cancer comes more medical bills, more travel expenses, and more time away from work for Mike and April. I thought I'd post a link to the Paypal account set up by a friend of the Shores to accept donations for the family. Give if you can. No amount is too small (or too large for that matter  ). Thanks! Link to Paypal donation site: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=3F4NUEZ8FG2KS Mike's original post dated 7.19.08: My 4 yr old has cancer... Spencer's page at Caring Bridge, where you can see photos and read the family's journal through this battle: CaringBridge / spencershores / Welcome

Thanks
Thanks Lee for setting this up, Never crossed my mind as we are again overwhelmed with emotion and information. Last round was all our savings and a $1M insurance bill. All the help will be greatly appreciated as the coffers have not been filled up yet as we enter fight number two.
Thanks again for those who have donated, you may add your Pelican name as I don't know everyone off the top of my head. Love the support of the board! Thanks everyone! Check out Spencer's site CaringBridge / spencershores / Welcome Mike |

You're all right, Sniper. You're all right... We're a little tight too (ha!) but many hands make light the load. It adds up.

Considering the magnitude of the load, my check wasn't much. But, as Angela said so well...every little bit adds up.
