Hello everybody (or err'body, if you prefer) My name is Ellen, I am 15 soon to be 16, and have a dog named Emmett. I am trying to raise a ton of donations for St. Baldricks, and I need your help! I would like to honor Jake Franzel, who passed away last year from bone cancer. Though I did not know him personally, I had his dad as my teacher and heard so many positive things about him. Also, I was inspired by other people/ events: Mark Schultz, telling about his youth student who had cancer, but decided to drop out of school because being bald 'wasnt cool,' so his friends (11, i think) all shaved their heads so when they went back to school, nobody knew who actually had cancer. Also, Covergirl Talia, who was on the Ellen Show, who was always positive and shows what true beauty is. Esther Earl, as well, who was an active part of creating and growing Nerdfighteria and who was just an overall awesome Nerdfighter (DFTBA!) who has also passed away, from papillary thyroid cancer on August 25, 2010- Rest in awesome, Esther! I ask for your donations and support, and when I ask for your support, I'm really asking you to support these kids. Thank you! Keep faith, always.
