May 2-8 2010 is Motor Neurones Disease (MND) Awareness Week and to raise awareness and money for MND Research for the month of May Sweet Blue Photography will be donating 50% (which is $50) of the session fee to MND research. I’ve now opened up for May bookings (with only a couple of spots left for April) so if you book your session in May half of your session fee will be donated to raise awareness and money for MND and as a thank you all May bookings will receive 10% off * their total order.
Why is Sweet Blue Photography supporting this, my mother back in 1998 was diagnosed with MND at age 47. MND is a muscle wasting disease, a terminal illness for which there is no known cure. Life expectancy from diagnosis is only around 3 years for most MND sufferers, however for a very small amount of MND sufferers they will have the slower progressing form. So although mum has been hit with such a horrible disease we are so thankful that she atleast has the slow progressing form which has allowed her to be around for the arrival of all her 10 grandchildren. She actually has been at the birth of all my 5 children! Next year my mum turns 60, we will be planning a nice big party for mum (even though she doesnt want one!) as what a great milestone to reach fighting this horrid disease.
With the advice from MNDAustralia it was recommended I start a fundraising page to make donating easier, so what I’ve done is opened up the fundraising page now http://www.gofundraise.com.au/sweetbluephotography please feel free to make a donation of any amount from now until June 8 2010, my goal is $1000. Feel free to copy and paste the link to your blog or facebook page to help me raise awareness for this debilitating disease.
Here’s my wonderful mum with one of my daughters, at our next big family get together (I am the eldest of 4 kids so we are all over Adelaide or in the country) we will have a newly update photo as we try to attempt each year! Its not easy getting now 10 babies/kids to sit and look at the camera!
Thank you in advance for any support you can give by means of donation or booking a session with me! For more information on MND please go to http://www.mndaust.asn.au/
(*10% off applies only to new clients booking for May)
