It's been 10 years, so remember those who were killed by DOING SOMETHING GOOD. If you can't think of anything, here is a list:
1. Adopt a soldier at http://www.adoptaplatoon.org/ - they are fighting FOR YOU and a letter once a week and a package every so often REALLY makes their day. OR welcome home a soldier at a local airport. Find out where at http://www.patriotguard.org/
2. Donate to Angel Eyes http://www.angeleyes.org/index-5.html in honor of my friend who lost her son to SIDS. SIDS is bullshit and we need to figure out how to eliminate it forever!
3. Become a bone marrow donor in honor of my friend, another friend's husband and another friend's 4 year old son. You don't even have to leave your house - they send you a kit to swab your cheek and you mail it back to them - http://www.dkmsamericas.org/.
4. Donate to the American Cancer Society in honor of the too many I know and love who are fighting cancer or who have lost their battles with cancer at http://www.cancer.org/.
5. In honor of my friend's son donate to http://www.pwsausa.org/.
6. In honor of my friend donate to http://www.nationalmssociety.org/.
7. In honor of my friends who have lost their babies and all of the premie babies born donate to http://www.marchofdimes.com/.
8. For my cousin who suffers from Autism, and all of my friends with children also suffering donate to http://www.autismspeaks.org/.
9. GO GIVE BLOOD.
10. http://www.tunneltotowers.org/ - donate to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers foundation. He was a firefighter that lost his life on 9/11 and his foundation helps children who have lost parents, and injured firefighters, military personnel, etc.
11. Donate to the Muscular Dystrophy Association in honor of my adorable little neighbor who is praying for a cure. Donate at: http://www.mda.org/post-telethon.htm
12. Donate to the Traumatic Brain Injury Association of America, in honor of my cousin's young step daughter, who lost her life after a tragic accident. http://www.biausa.org/
13. Donate to the Ovarian Cancer Research fund at http://www.ocrf.org/ in honor of my friend, who KICKED OVARIAN CANCER'S ASS (but even more so in honor of those who are losing their fight with this stupid disease).
Donate to one of these, donate to all of these or go find some other worthy cause JUST DON'T SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING. There's really no excuse for that. Doing nothing makes YOU the jackass.
