OUR FRIENDS HAVE A DAUGHTER WITH BRAIN CANCER and this is her wish:

Subject: I Heart Ellen

Hi Ladies,
I need your help. Somehow it popped into my crazy brain that I neeeeeed to get on the Ellen show. She’s so positive and fun, hilarious and kind. I want to share my brain cancer story, and inspire others to overcome
challenges, band together with friends, find ways around walls, use nutrition, exercise and anything you can when faced with a medical challenge. And above all, have fun with life. I want to meet Ellen so badly, if I could just get on her show for five minutes I think I could inspire others to believe that they’re worth the effort, and that each day, a hundred times, we make choices. Choose to follow your dreams. My dream is to be healthy and live a long life, and I refuse to give up.
Please use the link below to help encourage the producers to put me on
their show:http://ellen.warnerbros.com/show/respond/?PlugID=10
According to the World Health Organization, a person with my diagnosis has on average 4 years to live. I refuse to accept that. Help me earn a spot
on Ellen and inspire others to look fear in the face and march forward.
Please mention my blog, jessicaoldwyn.blogspot.com. Also, you can include a photo in your message, so I’ve attached one of my favorites if you want
to use it. If you have a different one that you’d prefer, of course you’re welcome to do that too.
Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it!Jess
PS. Please feel free to forward this email on. I have no shame (ok, a little) in asking for help.

Go ahead and contact Ellen’s show. It could make a difference.
