I shaved to raise money for childhood cancer research with: Cirque du SoBald

Hello everyone who reads this, dear friends, dear colleagues, When this event came to my attention, I immediately knew I wanted to participate. In 2002, I lost my 38 year old sister of skin cancer, she left 3 very young children and her husband. She was only sick for 7 months...because she was so young, her illness spread so fast, there was no way for her to fight it. In 2007, it was my father´s turn, cancer of the large intestine...the disease spread just as fast...no chance to fight it, for my dad. There has been quite some cancer in my family come to think of it.... My ex-partner's sister dies when she was only 16...of cancer. We promised each other when we got married, to never, ever get this disease...to be happy, to be in the moment, to enjoy life.... But... The disease really is one that humanity is ´blessed´with...in the sense that it teaches us to stand still, to enjoy each and every moment, just as it is....to be thankful and, to LOVE. No body deserves to die young, as a child...but then again...it always seems too early for us, at any age, always too difficult for those, who stay behind. When children of our family at work come to visit us, play with us, play with each other....it is like a second ray of light shines over our little village...drawings are painted in the kitchen, and...some of them end up in my office....Beautifully proud faces, full of joy and happiness....the children are in the moment. Just as it is, right then, right there...we play. And when I see their hair, so healthy, so shiny...I cannot even imagine any child, would have to go thru losing theirs, due to the poison they need to take that will kill their ill cells in their bodies...and with that, all their healthy cells as well....what can we do? We can provide them with our loving presence and we can simply make a small donation, that will perhaps, bring them moments of joy...moments in which their is no worry...moments in which they can simply BE; BE Those small human beings that we adults, can learn so much from...because normally, these little children have no worries, and they show us, how to be, simply, in the moment... We need our children, in order to be reminded of who we really are....all ONE. So, I do not mind to shave my hair...and be ONE with them, even if I know that I already truly am. I donate...and I ask you, to support this cause...that we may be reminded of ourselves...free from our identified ego's....and just simply...can be. That we may make a differene in the lives of those little ones..., those little beautiful children, and bring them pure joy...the kind of joy, that makes them, who they are. LIFE..... Thank you for your support, In Peace, Love and Light Warmly, Marjon To make a donation, click on "Make A Donation" or donate by mail or phone.
