Hi. It’s Rhea again. I have created a “widget” that can be placed on your website (if you have one), your Facebook, Twitter, and other places. Just click at the bottom where it says “get widget” and it will give you the code options. Please use it to spread the word. It is set up to feed her blog posts and Twitter stream right to you and your friends.
Also, I have a post up on my blog with the details of THIS FRIDAY’S social media blitz. If you are a blogger, tweeter, or facebooker, then on this Friday, March 12th, PLEASE go to town spreading the word of Penny. We are asking for prayers, attention, support and donations.
Penny is also now on Twitter @pennies4penny. Please follow her.
I’ll be back on Friday with another post. See you then.
I came across your story today through a friend on Facebook. I have a very close friend fighting a very hard fight against a rare form of cancer right now so I’ve become far more aware of things people prefer to not think about. I did make a small donation today and I also sent out some blast emails to the lcoal papers around Santa Clarita as well as the larger broadcasting stations and of course via Facebook. Your story touched me as I could not imagin my little girl ever having to be in the situation you guys are in, nor could I imagine receving little or no coverage to help. I wish you all the best and I hope Penny keeps on fighting the good fight. She’s an amazing little girl!
Penny’s Aunt is one of my close friends. My heart and prayers go to Penny and her family. Last night I grabbed the button and placed it on my blog. I am also doing a giveaway for other bloggers who grab the button and spread the love. I will be adding this widget today. To see my blog post go to http://spiceandallthatsnice.blogspot.com/2010/03/pennies-for-penny.html
I have sent an email to everyone in my contact list as well as placed info on several message boards I belong too. keeping you in my prayers.
just wanted to let you know I posted Penny’s button & widget in the R sidebar up on top!
plan on a post for Friday.

Cancer in Carlsbad
Hi Carol,
Thank you for contacting me. I am so sorry to hear about baby Penelope.
It is heartbreaking and unfortunately I am finding that it is
suspiciously common in the Carlsbad area. I have forwarded your
information to a family member who I have been working with named John
Quartarone. Please tell me if he doesn’t contact you by Friday. He is
collecting information about cancer cases in Carlsbad. John Quartarone
Thank you again,
Tony Shin
