to help raise money for
The PEACE Fund

The PEACE Fund
was started by actor

that specifically help children.

Epilepsy is a medical condition in which people have seizures.
There are different types of seizures
depending on which part of the brain
and how much of the brain is causing the seizure.

There are over 3 million people
in the United States
that have some type of epilepsy
and over 200,000 new cases
are diagnosed every year.

Some people with epilepsy have a genetic connection,
but many do not have any family history at all.

Some people can control the seizures with medication,
but there are always those people that medications can not work.

The PEACE Fund **Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere** Merchandise Link Included

I know I should have posted this much much earlier so people could buy for Christmas. I am really sorry about that.

However, there are many other gift giving holidays coming up or buy for yourself or as a just because I love you or like you gift for someone else.

The PEACE Fund "Protect Educate Aid Children Everywhere" is a recognized charity started by the actor Adrian Paul. Its focus is to collect money through fundraisers, donations, auctions, and selling merchandise to help other underfunded, smaller and quite frankly children's charities that the main media does NOT cover.

They do not spend millions of dollars on television, print, radio or internet advertising. I think most can think of at least 2 or 3 big children's charities that do. Many people (like me) probably first heard about the charity by going to his website because they were either a fan of his or the television show "Highlander: the series".

I do not write much about charities, but this one definitely caught my eyes and I did more research on it. I do not have kids and do not plan on having them, but I have 7 great nieces and nephews along with my friends and neighbors kids. I have 1 nephew who has autism and 1 friend who's daughter was diagnosed with MS last year.

I unfortunately do not have the financial means (the store I currently work at is closing the end of January 2009) to donate or purchase merchandise, but I can at least help spread the word around.

So, please check out the website to learn more and perhaps to donate, buy something, or to find out how to volunteer.


Some of the items you can purchase are t-shirts, baseball hats, doggie shirts, tote bags, coffee mugs, note cards, mouse pad, and more.
