SharingHope.TV now with Blogging
You do know we have a sweet Video and Photo sharing site called SharingHope.TV right? But did you know that we now have a Blog that goes along with our Web Site? I bet you didn’t. So do me a favor. Go check it out and add it to your RSS feeds and bookmark it in Google Chrome when you get the chance.
What do we cover on this Blog? I’ll let the lady behind it tell you all about it!
“SharingHope.tv is like a television network starring regular folk. They are survivors, patients, caretakers, and relatives showing how they persevere every day with Cancer hovering over their lives. They film their own stories in the comfort of their own homes, using simple and increasingly affordable digital cameras.
By adding your story to SharingHope.tv, you join everyday heroes like Annie in giving hope to people who might be frantically searching the internets for information about a recent cancer diagnosis. If you are a survivor, you probably remember how scary the mountains of information can seem. What would it have been like to stumble across the smiling face of someone who has been there, and is urging you to persevere?
Can you really make a difference in the lives of other cancer patients and family members simply by telling your story? We know you can.
So go to SharingHope.tv and watch the videos. As you will see, the site is still new and needs more of your stories in order to shine. If you have access to a digital camera with video capabilities, please take the time to share hope.
Hi. I’m Kara. I don’t have cancer, but I’ve lost two way-too-young friends and a grandfather to the disease. I have good friends fighting cancer now, and so I join the millions praying for cures. I think SharingHope.tv is an awesome idea, and am doing my best to help spread the word.
Just like SharingHope.tv, I’m still in BETA(that’s social media speak for being pretty new at this blogging thing).”
Change your avatar for Social Good
So this week you read about the HAM Tweet-up going on here in Austin. In fact you may plan on going, or attending the grill at Whole Foods or just supporting the community.
But besides those things can you do me a favor? Change your avatar on all your social networks. This really helps build awareness and worked wonders for the Frozen Pea Fund back in the day. Simply do this:
1) Go take a photo of you holding a cardboard sign with something about HUNGER on it
2) Replace your Twitter, FB, MySpace, Flickr avatar with this till Sept 13th.
3) When people ask you why you changed it, point them here or here.
4) That’s it!
