      Just saw this article on asiaone.com


      http://www.asiaone.com/Health/Women%2527s%2BMatters/Story/A1Story20090614-148379.html


      I am very touch by the story and the fighting spirit of the mum and her friends to help her raise enough funds for the child's treatment.

      http://www.ourfeistyprincess.com/fundraising_web.php

      I am thinking of taking them up on their fundraising idea
      - Baby & Kids Photo Shoot or Home-made Cheese Cake/Muffins/Quiche For Sale

      Any idea what the studios outside charges and any suggestions on how much we can target to raise?
      Selling me???? :faint: :yikes: :lol:

        I don't think this is the right place for such a joke. If you can help, please help. If you cannot help, then please do not mess up the thread here. :roll:

          Charmaine is indeed very fortunate to have a never-say-die mum who fight real hard for her survival.


          Sad though that with each highlighted case, there're lots more that go unnoticed. If you want to do your part for other cancer victims, how about signup for the race against cancer?

          PS: Sorry, I don't mean to hijack this thread, but hey, it's for a good cause.

            I saw charmaine last week. Her brother had just signed up for swimming class with me and she came with him during his first lesson. I feel my heart break when I saw her. She is very well behaved and it saddened me to have to see her fight against such a terrible disease. She went for chemo again the following day and hopefully her conditions had improved

                    I have been following the blog to keep myself update on her situation. I am very surprised, at this tender age, Charmain can be such a strong girl. I have not known of anyone suffering from cancer before but from the movie "My sister’s keeper", I can feel the suffering of the patient and the family.


                    I constantly read her blog, because I am concerned about her fighting path and at the same time, it help me to remind myself, how fortunate my family and I are in.
