A lot of people look for a quick pick-me-up every day, whether it's through a cup of coffee, a candy bar, facial, etc.  Granted, those things all work, but none of them will make you feel as good as helping cure childhood cancer.

I was on Facebook this morning, and I saw a post from my friend Brent.   Brent isn't just a Facebook friend: he's a for-real friend.  He's been over to the house for dinner and parties, I've been skeet shooting with him.  We've attended birthday parties and funerals together. We had lunch just the other day at Morvant's in Youngsville, and he is helping me sell raffle tickets for the Jeep.  For-real friends!

Anyway, when I saw Brent's post, I thought to myself "This would be a great thing to post on our website: Give people the opportunity, right there at their fingertips, to make someone's day.  Someone who is trying to help others".

So, here's the deal: Brent is trying to raise $150 for his "team" for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  When we post a story to our website, we can see how many people actually look at the story, and that number is rarely less than 500.  So, let's do math: 500 (people) x 1 (dollar) = $500!  Can you imagine?  If everyone who reads this donates $1 to his team, he will blow his goal out of the water!

So, click here and give a buck.  Or 5.  Or 10.  It's a quick, easy way to help AND to give yourself a quick pick-me-up.

Oh, here's Brent, holding his son Ayden and wife Angelle in the background:

(See?  They are normal people, trying to help a great cause.)

So, there you have it, your feel-good opportunity for the day.  You'll feel better, Brent will be surprised and, most importantly, you will be helping to find a cure for childhood cancer!
