Here's a link to a website about a fellow children's author, Bridget Zinn, who is battling stage 4 colon cancer. You can learn about Bridget and what she's been going through and find out about an auction they're having to raise money for her. I'm not going to write any more about it because Shelli did a wonderful job on her site.
Here's the link to Shelli's site -
