My dear friend (whom I'm not yet had the chance to meet face-to-face) Janis, aka [livejournal.com profile] ar_wahan is a simply marvelous woman. She's a professional free-lance writer, patient board member and kind-hearted activist for many worthy causes; generous to a fault, always.

Any time that I have put up a fund-raising effort for a friend, she has pitched in EVERY SINGLE TIME, without having known any of these people except through LiveJournal. That is the sort generosity, both of pocket and heart that makes her such an amazing woman.

She is diabetic and has overcome several other health challenges, not mine to tell about, with a courage and positive outlook that I so admire. Nothing seems to hold her down and she always finds ways to give back, that is her nature.

She is now going on the Walk for Diabetes for the American Diabetes Association and is looking for sponsors to help her raise funds during her walk.

You have all been most generous; she is the soul of generosity. I think it behooves us all to help her out in her own fund-raising drive for such a good cause. Although I have no cash at the moment, I will most definitely be donating, just as soon as I get paid for the work I did back in July.

Ah, geez . . . you didn't just "repost the link" (which I never expected anyone to do), you gave a testimonial! Thanks so much!

Do you know how long she has to raise the money? I'm trying to keep in mind lots of ways to "pay it forward" after I get my wheels back under me.

I don't know, but can ask her.

I honestly don't know! I'll have to find out. (And thanks, AmberBob... there will be other occasions to pay it forward.)

I just was told I can collect the donations anytime, even after the walk!

Excellent! I will definitely be making a donation to you after my car is back again.
