Well actually I’m heading to Long Island this weekend.

You know, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel grateful for all that I have in my life. I’m very fortunate and feel blessed so I try to give back every chance I get. That’s why I’m heading to New York this weekend.

I am volunteering my time to help out a friend. It’s actually a little more than that but I’d rather tell you about her first. Her name is Laura Kennedy.

Laura is retired Navy and has a passion and dedication for our country like you’ve never seen. Let’s face it, if you live here in the USA you have a sense of pride and realize how fortunate we are and at times we also take that for granted. It’s easy to get caught up in all the BS you here and see and read but overall, we’re very lucky to live here in the USA.

Our troops, our friends, family and neighbors having been giving their lives for our freedom in Afghanistan for the last 9 years and whether you believe in the war or not the fact remains that our brothers and sisters are there because our country asked them to be. I’m sure they would rather be here, with their loved ones.

Laura understands what it is like to be deployed and to be away from family. She understands the sacrifices everyone makes. Remember, a lot of our soldiers have families they leave behind.

That is why Laura single-handedly put together a Telethon. Yes she has had people volunteer their time and services but she has undertaken and organized this huge task and wants NOTHING in return for herself.

Laura is a true survivor. She was in the World Trade Center on September 11th and was one of the lucky people who made it out. Laura is an amazing person with a giving heart and that’s why I’m heading to Long Island.

Veterans Day is Thursday November 11^th but Starting Friday November 6^th 12am or “0001 hours”  Laura has assembled an online Telethon that will go 24 hours straight.

100% of all the telethon proceeds will go to the support of our Veterans and their families through the organizations represented at this event.
