money to charity to please consider donating to the Scleroderma Foundation. My mother got this dreaded disease about 7 years ago and it sucks. Very little known disease but one that is horrible. Thanks.

Sherman:

I am very sorry to hear about your mother. A check will go in the mail first thing Monday morning. Give your Mom a big hug tomorrow, as I wish her and your family all the best. Take good care.

a very worthy cause - and to show you how wide ranging this is - Playboy Playmate Tylyn John ALSO has this disease, too (do a Google search on her - and you won't be disappointed) as well as Jason Alexander's sister (Seinfeld fame)

but while on the topic of worth causes - i'lla dd 1 more

my 7-year-old nephew was diagnosed with diabetes at age 18-months-old (almost 6 years ago) and it breaks my heart to see this - for his mood swings are amazing due to his blood sugar level.

BOTH of these causes are top-notch ones to donate money to

Sherman,

One of my Aunts died of this about 5 years ago. The skin gets so hardened and leathery feeling. I feel for you and will definitely contribute to this charity...

We have a long way to go here and good luck with your Mom...

Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day as well...
