 VINNY'S
HEARTRENDERING COLUMNReal people & real stories COME INTO MY POSTBAG . If you have any nice stories to contribute please email them to : MRWINEUK@email com Earlier
out family lived in Tula Oblast, not far from the area, where the
special
plant for producing bomb plutonium was located. In the result of
an accident the leak of radiation took place and most of the After
a while our son began feel sick, lost his appetite, played
up. My wife and I did not understand what was happening and decided to
take him to hospital. It was very hurting to know the truth,
doctors
made out a diagnosis: ''Acute myeloblast leucosis''. At
that
time I did not wish anybody be in our shoes. As
you know, Russia is in crisis now and therefore a teacher's salary is
only
$US60 a month. We tried to find help with different charity
organizations,
applied for help to the city administration, to the top managers
of the Alex and Sofia. Ours e-mail : alx1sof@mail.ru For additional information, please, get in touch with Anton's attending doctor L.Truslov in Kaliningrad Regional BEREG Hospital (Dr.L.Truslov@klregbereghsp.po.ru) Please help us. Vinny's comment: Whilst we understand and appreciate the need to help little Anton it would be preferable if those in the medical world in the West could suggest a way in which little Anton could be treated in either Europe or the United States. Sending monies to Russia might end up in the wrong hands and we feel that little Anton may get better value elsewhere. Please contact Vinny at CONTACT US CLICK with suggestions. Heartwarming During my trip, war broke out in Europe and The Americares Foundation went over to deliver food and medical supplies. I also posted a donors list and found that many donors actually learned about my trip over the internet. During the 72-day trip, I posted daily entries of what had gone on during the day to keep my relatives and donor informed. My trip was such a success that I decided I would do a similar trip the next year. This past summer,
I rode
the Continental Divide Mountain Biking Route from the Canadian border
to
the Mexican border. I updated my web page for the trip and decided that
I would raise money again. This time, I chose an organization closer to
home. My uncle has Parkinson's Disease and after seeing how the disease
debilitates as it progresses, I decided I really wanted to help. Like
before,
I raised money for this 2500-mile off-road mountain bike trip by
posting
information about donors and my trip. This time, the results
skyrocketed.
I still don't have a complete tally but over $100,000 has been raised.
Hopefully, this will help stop the suffering of not only my uncle but
also
everyone else who has Parkinson's Disease. Visit my site at: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Midfield/4415/.

abreast of developmentsE-Mail by Phone Once you've set up an account at http://www.myTalk.com just call the specified number and tell the voice-friendly service what you want to do--for example, "Read it," or "Get rid of it." And don't be surprised when it talks back! |
SHOUTMAIL.COM GOES BOTH WAYS Shoutmail.com takes all of this phone/e-mail integration one step further. Not only can you retrieve messages from your free Shoutmail.com account (or from your Yahoo, Hotmail, and soon, AOL accounts), but you can use it to SEND voice e-mail messages (as long as the recipient is in your Personal Directory). Which means if you aren't near a computer and need to send an e-mail, all you need is a phone. Just dial the specified Shoutmail.com number, select a recipient,speak your mind, and off goes the message. The recipient gets an e-mail message prompting them to listen to the audio attachment (your voice message) using RealAudio or by simply playing the *.wavfile. Way cool. http://www.shoutmail.com UREACH
