Sell My Timeshare NOW Joins Fundraising Effort for Cancer Patient.
Friday, November 21, 2008
17,000 people in the US will be diagnosed with primary brain cancer this year and another 100,000 will receive the diagnosis of secondary brain cancer. Dover, NH resident Christine Skidds is a brain cancer patient, just recently completing her radiation treatments. Christine is also a much loved mother, wife, sister, as well as friend to many in the Dover area … to her community she is not one more statistic … she is a reason to rally.
Last Saturday evening, Christine’s Crusade held a fundraising auction with dinner, entertainment, and dancing. One hundred and forty items were auctioned … everything listed was sold either at the live auction or through silent bidding. Nearly 300 people attended and organizers of the event say they were thrilled with the turnout and the results.
Items for the auction ranged from jewelry to tandem skydives, to piano lessons, Celtics tickets, car washes, Red Sox tickets, autographed sports memorabilia, and yes, a week of timeshare.
Sell My Timeshare NOW donated the use of a Wyndham timeshare in Florida, at the bidder’s choice of available Florida timeshare destinations. The donation enabled someone to enjoy a great vacation at a luxury destination for a very good price. Most importantly, it raised $700 for Christine’s Crusade.
We were grateful to be able to help Christine and her family, but this husband and wife, with two young sons, still have many challenges ahead. I urge you to go to Christine’s website, read her story, and to do whatever you can to help.
