Hey we have all sorts of wonderful people here on the Café that love the art of magic and there are many organizations and groups represented here. With that the Acromegaly Community is having a Fundraiser/Auction in October, and one of their members is here on the Café, fonda57.
It would be great if there could be some magical donations i.e., books, DVDs, individual tricks, etc. from some of our many magical brothers here. This event will be in Buffalo, NY and would just be made even more magical with our help. fonda is a great part of the Café and used to do magic at Borders Books where he would not only perform but would routinely make sure the bookstore carried magic books to lead interested readers to in the art. If you want to make a donation, contact fonda57 here on the Café for more information. I'll be donating one of my magical downloads for sure, anything to help people see the real magic in this life. Thanks. -Mb

Hey, that's great, thank you. Thanks for doing it so quickly, too, wow. The founder of the organization, Wayne Brown, arranged to contract a book and a bunch of us wrote different chapters about various aspects of dealing with acromegaly. Both Trena and I have chapters in the book. She's the one in that picture I sent, you will recall.
Thanks again, Mike |

Acromegaly is a chronic ilness brought on by a tumor in the brain and can affect any part of your body it wants to, specifically growth hormone type stuff, bone growth. I know because I have this illness.
Acromegaly Community has only been in existence for about three years and has grown in membership by the hundreds from people all around the world. The communty helps patients in all ways, from financial to directing patients to the right doctors and anything in between. We are also on facebook, and many patients, who would have otherwise have never met, have become good friends. Thank you, Mike C. |
