Help Fight Cancer by Supporting Linda Rambin’s Art
Posted on February 23rd, 2009 in Personal | 3 Comments »
A Louisiana artist, Linda Rambin has been painting for approximately six years. Unfortunately, her painting career has been postponed indefinitely due to the extremely aggressive form of brain cancer she is currently fighting, glioblastoma multiforme. Diagnosed in early October 2008, Linda has had brain surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, and she is currently participating in a clinical trial that is causing her a great deal of fatigue and a host of other side effects.
The cost of Linda’s treatment and care are exorbitant. Just one of the medications for the clinical trial costs $4,500 per month, and that’s the co-pay! You can help support Linda and the Rambin family by spreading the word about Paintings by Linda, a collection of Linda’s original paintings on Etsy.com. The more people that visit Paintings by Linda, the more of her paintings will sell, helping the family to defray the cost of her treatment. (If you’re sharing about Linda’s store on Twitter, please use the hashtag #charlysmom. Linda’s daughter Charly has worked tirelessly on both Linda’s Etsy store and Linda’s Caring Bridge website.)
If you are interested in learning more about her story, please visit Linda’s Caring Bridge website. There you will find a more detailed account of her struggle, a daily blog, a guestbook for comments, and a photos page.
Please keep Linda in your thoughts as you enjoy her unique and vivid paintings. They have brought her much joy, and we hope they will do the same for you.

Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.
I have noticed that rates for online degree experts tend to be a terrific value. For example a full Bachelors Degree in Communication in the University of Phoenix Online consists of Sixty credits with $515/credit or $30,900. Also American Intercontinental University Online offers a Bachelors of Business Administration with a whole school element of 180 units and a cost of $30,560. Online learning has made getting the college degree so much easier because you can easily earn your current degree in the comfort of your home and when you finish from office. Thanks for all your other tips I have learned from your blog.
