Miracles do happen

I am sure many of you have read about Charmaine, the little 4 year old girl diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma - a rare form of cancer that occurs in childhood.

Her treatment in the US will cost US$350 000 (that's about S$500k) .. and I've just been to her godmother's blog for her and they've managed to raise that money !! Awesome !!

I think it's just wonderful that even in this downturn, there are people out there that have donated money to help this little girl.

Her story was first reported in The New Paper on the 14th of June, 2009 - read article here then shortly after that, readers raised some 40k for her - read article here. Football stars also pitched in to raise money for her - read article here.

Miracles do happen. All the best to Charmaine in New York.

If you'd like to make a cash donation, read how to go about doing that here
