Cancer can cause heavy economic burdens on both patients and their families. Government-sponsored programs as well as services supported by nonprofit, national organizations are available for people who do not have health insurance and for those who have insurance but still need financial assistance to cover health care costs. Child cancer patients and their families need to discuss any concerns about health care costs with their doctor, medical social worker, or the business office of their hospital or clinic.

Coconut Library: Thank you so much for joining in! I don’t know if you caught the post about the book giveaways happening in March for those participating in Reading for a Cure…but you will be entered. If you let me know the names of your sponsors, I will add them to the list above and they will also be added to the list of those eligible to win books in March! You can either leave me a comment with their names – or drop me an email (or have them come by and leave a comment). To read more about the giveaways…click on the link in my sidebar!

I’m just starting now, but want to do the whole year level. I will notify people who are sponsoring me that they can sponsor me starting now, or from the beginning of the year (they can go back and see how many reviews I have posted from the beginning of January). I will be asking for donations based on posts, so that my readers can see which books I have legitimately read.

This is a great idea! Thanks for coordinating!

Actually, Sari…you just signed up as a Participant There are no one-time donors yet (looks like I need to re-write this so it is clearer). I’ll take you off of the participants – your name is already under sponsors. If you want to sponsor me, I’d be thrilled. I am shooting for 10 books in March…

Wendy,
Still not finding a list of readers. I am just going around and around on your blog. Mr. Linky just added my name to the donors. If anyone would like a sponsor let me know. I will donate two dollars for every book read.

Thanks again for doing this.

Hi, I love to read and just discovered the world of book blogs! I’m inspired by your challenge and think it is a very worthy cause. I do not have a blog, but I would like to join this challenge for the year. I’ll donate $2.00 per book, with a minimum of $100.00 for the year.

Verbatim: Thanks for joining in the challenge – and for such a generous commitment too! I’ve decided to start a list of names of non-bloggers just above the Mr. Linky who are participating…since it looks like Mr. Linky is making it hard to sign up if you don’t have an URL code.
