Hi guys, and thank you in advance for taking the time to read this post. I'd like to update you on our Charity venture, and hope you'd like to give your us your support. We are 28 International Indie Authors who have joined together to write a book of short stories in aid of The MacMillan Nurses Charity Group. The idea came into being from a member of our group who recently suffered a loss, and decided they wanted to do something in honour of that loved one. The call was put out, the reason explained, and the amount of responses that came in was really something to behold. What started out as one person’s glimmer of an idea snowballed into a book of 28 different stories, and 28 different people pulling together for one common goal: to get that book published, and out on the shelves making money for the MacMillan Nurses as soon as possible. So, now we have a novel sized book with 28 short stories, all from independently published authors from around the world. The stories are different genres, and all of them different styles. It would make quite the addition to any book lover’s shelf. Many of you will know who, and what the MacMillan Nurses are and do, but for those that don’t we’d be happy to explain. There are 3,942 MacMillan Nurses that work with cancer patients, be they man, woman, or child. They work tirelessly to make their patient’s ordeal as smooth and as pain free as possible, whether it’s by taking over medical care, or explaining the medical treatment for easier understanding. They share the joys of a success story, and they share the heartbreak of disabling loss. They are strong men, and women that deserve to be noticed for what they do, after-all, their job has to be the hardest, most emotionally wringing post to hold. There are also the special individuals who step up and volunteer their time, helping the patient to regain control of their life, be it through obtaining financial aid, or being a pillar of strength for emotional support to both the patient and the immediate family. More than one in three of us will get cancer at some point in our lives, and for most of us it will be the biggest battle we’ll ever have to face. MacMillan Support aims to improve the lives of everyone in the UK that is suffering from any form of cancer, and they want to be sure that no one ever has to face this disease alone. Please help us to help them to ensure that no one ever has to. We guarantee that all the funds raised, and we mean every single penny made by this venture, will go into The Pamela Winton Tribute Fund in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support. So here we are again, putting out a call for help. Will you help get this deserving charity the money that can fund them to help so many more people? All of us involved have our reasons for donating our time and work, be it a loved one lost, a loved one battling, or as a way of showing heart-warming sympathy. A few of the authors simply did it because they felt it was the right thing to do for a worthy cause. Let’s get the word out there people, and see if we can make a difference. 1.
