Day 88 of...98 Days...Around the World in 88 Days

Actually the movie was "Around the World in 80 Days".  However you look at it what fun that in mere seconds we can reach across continents and communicate with complete strangers but feel connected by a common goal, purpose or even philosophy.  I can't even imagine life without the Internet and without feeling connected.  

I have been fortunate through my blogging I have been able to reach out to others who have the same passion as me about saving lives of those with blood cancer and about fund-raising so we fund research and find a cure. I know that many have come together to want to honor the life of our special honoree Tressa and all others who have lost their life to this devastating disease.  And they like me do not want Leukemia, Lymphoma or Myeloma to take yet another precious life of a child or any loved one so they gave donations or wished me luck in finding those who would. 

Where would we be without our Smartphones? It has become our lifelines, allowing us to connect with others around the world. There have been more than a thousand downloads from all over the world who have come together in a community on Light The App the free iPhone application where they lit a virtual candle and shared a dedication a prayer or inspiration to a loved one battling or lost from blood cancer.

Our networks Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn who knew we could form relationships and share with others what we were doing and have others spread the word to their networks.  In some way it has been around the world in 88 days at least of blogging and in other instances only mere seconds. In any case it's been a connection to an important and common goal the need to cure blood cancer a disease taking a life every 10 minutes. Maybe you can help connect me with others who have the same goal I would love to meet them anywhere in the world?
