Peas Help

Peas_2

Want to change the world?  It only takes one random act of kindness at a time. It's pretty simple really—what this is all about. As most things on the Web, it starts with people and then more people.  In this case, someone shared a story.  That story spread and through Blogs, Twitter and e-mail and people began to show support through peas of all things. 

Susan Reynolds is undergoing surgery today as part of her fight against breast cancer.

She shared a story of how she used a bag of frozen peas to soothe herself after her biopsy.  Then the news came.  But there's hope in the form of community and a symbolic gesture of adopting the pea.  Changing the world is hard because nobody wants to start with just one person. Where's the glory in that?

But it only takes an act of kindness.  So before you leave, pleas consider doing the following:
1. Go here
2. Do something.
3. Spread the word.

Because peas do help.

David, thanks so much for this great graphic people can use on their blogs or websites. I'm reformatting it to fit in the sidebar of the Frozen Pea Fund site.
