About Eddie's Fund

In 2006, our 10-year-old son had a bone marrow transplant. While recovering in isolation at home, he determined to do something to help a bone marrow transplant family we had met while in the hospital. Something to help his new friend, Eddie. We started Eddie's Fund that week, and seven years later, as Eddie continues his post-transplant recovery and waits for a double lung transplant, our family of five continues to raise funds for Eddie and his family. 100% of all donations to the Fund are paid directly to bill companies to help Eddie's family financially manage the intensity of Eddie's recovery. On behalf of Eddie and his family, we thank you for offering hope and help and joining with us to support our buddy, Eddie.

Rockin' August Giveaway

Happy August 1st!

I'm so grateful for the overwhelming responses from our readers the last few days. Many of you have shared the link to this blog on your Facebook pages--thank you! A few of you are planning to run races this fall to raise money. One of you is already planning a Zumba-thon at your church for October. WOW. I am so, so appreciative of every effort you are making for Eddie and his family.

Here at Eddie's Fund we're trying to do what we can, too. And so Eddie's Fund is launching another Giveaway this month, as we work to pay OFF Eddie's family's new car.

For every $10 you donate to the Fund in the month of August, you'll earn one (1) entry towards a 4th Generation iPod touch (32 GB). If you've never owned an iPod before (or are looking to upgrade to the very cool new iPods), this is your chance to hear your favorite tunes in style.


That's right. An iPod Touch!

So if you donate $10, you'll earn 1 entry; $20 will get you 2 entries, $50 will get you five entries, $100 10 entries, and so on.

As before, Eddie's Fund will choose the lucky donor using an online site that randomly selects for us.

Share the news with your family and friends! The Rockin' August Giveaway is our way to say THANK YOU for donating to the Fund...and for caring for Eddie and his family.

You can donate online using the "Donate" Pay Pal button in the right sidebar of this website. Eddie's Fund will receive word of your donation (and your email address) from PayPal; we'll use that email address to contact our happy donor on the last day of the month.

We appreciate you! Thanks for Rockin' August with us for Eddie!

With thanks,
Melissa for Eddie and his family
