My Friend, Sydney

This photo has a very important story attached to it. This is my friend Sydney; she is the daughter of a friend of mine. She is two years old and has has an (as yet) unidentified chronic blood condition that has caused her to be anemic for most of her short life and led to dozens of transfusions and several stays at the children's hospital.

A few weeks ago, her dad launched a website called Friends of Sydney (www.friendsofsydney.org). The goal of the website is to link people with other people in order to share information. See, right now, information is incredibly valuable to Sydney. If word spreads far enough, there is likely someone else out in this world that has a similar condition, or knows someone with a similar condition. Once its known what Sydney has, the cure can begin.

So, I ask you a favor. Please click on the link for Sydney's website, send her a word of encouragement and then pass that link on to other people you know. All it takes is a few minutes to share the information with someone and ask them to share it and soon Sydney will have her cure.

Please?
