Internet marketing is certainly an interesting part of the internet, but it is clearly only one tiny part. One of the things that I like about Garry Conn is that he is willing to divert his attention away from internet marketing for a moment and try to help someone. He does this even when he is locked in a death match with the Cow. See, the cool thing about internet is that you can do amazing stuff with it to help people.
So, I am reprinting this post at Garry's request. For the record, I also sent a donation (although I had never heard of Brennan before Garry's post).
Regards,

On April 16th, 2008 my good online friend, Brennan Kingsland, feel ill with acute kidney failure due to chronic kidney disease. This really isn't a very good thing. For those that might have forgotten, the main function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess water from the blood. Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys partly or completely lose their ability to carry out normal functions. This is dangerous because water, waste, and toxic substances build up that normally are removed from the body by the kidneys.
Chronic kidney disease is when one suffers from gradual and usually permanent loss of kidney function over time. This happens gradually over time, usually months to years. Chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages of increasing severity:
I am unsure where Brennan is at with her battle for recovery, I know that she has been visiting her doctor very often as they have been attempting to treat her with medication. She has been updating me via email with progress updates and overall this has been a very touch and go situation for her. Unfortunately, just this morning, Brennan sent me a very brief email stating that things have started to go in the wrong direction again.
Brennan Kingsland is a determined woman who wants to improve education for our children. She loves animals and has owned and maintained a volunteer animal shelter for many years. She is a very free spirited, gifted and intelligent writer and publisher.
Brennan Kindsland is an amazing individual who values life. In fact, a little over 20 years ago when her best friend and loving husband suffered from a major heart attack, she immediately made a career change to be come a Critical Care Registered Nurse just so that she could make sure that her loving husband was going to be receiving the best care over the years. Quite a few years later and after things were going much better for her husband, she decided it was safe to go back to her career in publishing.
After witnessing how Brennan was willing to make major changes in her life just to help someone that she cared dearly about, today it is your turn. While I am not asking you to become a nurse or a doctor, I am asking that you provide a donation of money that will greatly support and help Brennan in a time of need.
For everyone who reads this announcement, please understand that any amount you are willing to donate will help and her in her journey towards having the best quality of life while enabling her to build strength to fight her illness. With your help, I have no doubt in my mind that Brennan Kingland will push through this challenging time in her life.
