If great minds think alike,

English


Great hearts do alike.

I love it when good people, people I love, join forces to do something really powerful. Something not just for them. Something that has the potential of improving so many other lives. 

As I had posted earlier this week, my sister who works in Cancer research, will be running the Course des Héros in Paris, this coming June. 

My Super N

She sent out a call to all her friends and acquaintances to give her a hand in collecting the 300 Euros she needed to raise to be eligible to run in the race alongside her colleagues from the Association pour la Recherche sur le Cancer - ARC. She got them in less than a week! Which was wonderful news. And which meant the people around us are really kind and generous and give us the power to do even more. 

So my super-sister pushed the challenge further and committed to get even more donations. Let's hope she makes it. And she will if you would support her any way you can and help us spread the word!

A note to readers who live in France: your donations are tax-deductible.

We are very grateful to all the generous supporters, including our one and only Cupcake Box! If you have not heard of this wonderful initiative, make sure you take a look over here ;) 

Super N Donations Page

And while we are on the topic... We were so glad to find out Cupcake Box had partnered with The Nawaya Network this month and we are as excited about next month's partner: One Wig Stand :) Did I say how much I love it when good people, people I love, join forces to do something really powerful? ;)

Super-Sister, or: A call to all my Frenchies & all my big-hearted readers!

English ✮ Français


I don't think I have told you before, but we have a superhero in the family. I am actually related by blood to Wonder Woman. Or something/one that looks like Wonder Woman. 

Super N gives it all to fight Cancer!

And she is committing to run 6 kilometers at the Course des Héros taking place in Paris on June 17 to help raise funds for cancer research. It would be awesome if you would support her efforts and her team from the Association pour la Recherche sur le Cancer - ARC any way you can, whether with donations (tax deductible in France only) or by sharing the donation page.

Oh, and an inside story just for you: it is really my sister in a cardboard hand-made (or should I say hand-cut) Wonder Woman costume! Or at least, the crown, belt and most importantly super-fancy red boots are! I am pleased to report the latter will be on their way to my feet this summer. Thank you.

...

Je disais donc, en anglais, que ma petite sœur est en fait une Super-Heroine. Si, si, je vous assure, elle a même le costume pour le prouver. 

Super N et le Cancer: un combat de titans!


Son ennemi? Le cancer. Elle va l'affronter lors de la Course des Héros et s'engage à courir 6 kilomètres ce 17 juin. Le but? Soutenir l'Association pour la Recherche sur le Cancer - ARC. Par quels moyens? En rassemblant le plus de volontaires possible. Toi aussi, fidèle lecteur, tu peux faire partie de cette équipe au gros coeur en donnant quelques sous sur ce site (réduction fiscale déduite des impôts, en France uniquement) ou tout simplement en faisant passer le message.

Pour la petite histoire, il s'agit bien de ma sœurette sur la photo, en costume en carton fait-main! Ou du moins la couronne, la ceinture et les super bottes rouges! C'est dans ces dernières que mes pieds frimeront cet été. Merci bien.
