Go Shopping this Weekend


Help beat cancer by sharing this Gap Coupon with your friends and shopping at any Gap store between Thursday, March 17th and Sunday, March, 20th. 

You (and your friends) can receive 30% off your Gap store purchases, while you raise funds for life-saving cancer research - 5% of your entire store purchase will benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (when you use the LLS coupon).


The funds raised through this campaign are helping children like, Ethan Potter (pictured above), who has already spent much of his short life fighting a battle none of us ever wishes to face.

As Ethan's mom, Nancy, explains, "My husband and I did not know very much about leukemia. We knew it was a form of blood cancer that was inside the bone marrow but not much else. At the advice of our caseworker... we turned to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help get a better understanding of this cancer.

It was there that we discovered that 30 years ago the survival rate of people diagnosed with leukemia was only 10%, but due to LLS and all of the money they have helped raised to find a cure, the survival rate for my son today is 90%."

"Dogs are the bomb"

To quote a friend, "dogs are the bomb."  And, I must agree.  Some of the best moments in my day involve Mr. Gabe.  He's a constant companion that is forever forgiving and always loving.   And, outside of the occasional desire to hunt down a rabbit (or deer), he seems perfectly content to just be near me. 

It has been noted, when I leave the house without him - he gets a little unsettled.  When I return - I get a reception much like this solider received

Beagles love their owners and we love them!
