Perfidious, Jaded, Scrooges, Defenders of the Faith, and All: Let's!

Kate McRae has another MRI of her brain and spine tomorrow morning.  I cannot imagine the stress she must feel in advance of these tests, and her mother Holly writes in her Caring Bridge journal that the last few weeks have been difficult as their anticipation grew.  She tells us, however, that:


[T]omorrow has fast approached, and a sweet peace with it. We are far less anxious than last week. I have no doubt the result of many prayers manifesting themselves as very real in our lives. We will find out the results to the MRI tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 when we meet with Kate's oncologist to review the scans. We would love your prayers. Prayers for Kate's full and complete healing here on earth. The statistics are terribly grim. And yet, we pray. And ask you to join us. Thank you, and we will update tomorrow. 
The McRaes have established a Christmas tradition in Kate's name, through which they are helping other families dealing with pediatric cancer. [You can read about the beginnings of this project HERE.] I've copied the details below about how to participate in Kate's Crazy Cool Christmas 2011.

C'mon, My Dear Readers -- Perfidious, Jaded, Scrooges, Defenders of the Faith, and All -- Let's!  Let's!

We can participate:

Kate
1. by donating any assortment of new toys, movies, or games for the families. Everything must be new.

2. by donating gift cards to grocery stores, gas stations, and various stores for the families (ie. Walmart, Target, Starbucks, Visa, Clothing Stores, or Sporting Goods stores, Barnes and Noble, Amazon and various Restaurants). We need lots of these to provide for all of the families.

3. by visiting Sign Up Genius  to donate a very specific item for a family. MANY more items will be added in the coming days and weeks.
