Wear Blue!

Wear your pin if I've given you one.
Tomorrow, September 26, is Mesothelioma Awareness Day. As a rare and aggressive cancer, mesothelioma steals the lives of individuals who have been exposed to asbestos. Here are some suggestions for how to observe the day:

  1. Wear blue, the color of mesothelioma awareness.
  2. If I have given you a blue ribbon pin and you can still find it, wear it (or make yourself a blue ribbon from actual ribbon).
  3. Watch Niagara Falls turn blue at 10:15 PM EDT (2:15 AM Saturday GMT).
  4. Learn about mesothelioma and see what the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation is doing in honor of the day.
  5. Support public funding of cancer research.
  6. Check out my fundraising page at the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation. Gifts to the foundation between now and September 27 at 12:00 PM EDT will be doubled, up to $10,000. 

In personal news, I'm back from a visit to Gita in Atlanta. It was a very easy trip, just 4 1/2 hours door to door. It was good to get away and to see Gita and her cats without it being too exhausting.

    I think I missed the blue Niagara but maybe made it in time for the doubled donation...? Anyway, blue also happens to be the favorite color of ChatGPT (try it yourself!) - this may or may not count as a "fun fact"....
