People have asked, "what can I do for Michael?"
There is a saying, if you save one life, it is as if you have saved the world. Michael is a big believer in donating time, energy and financially to charitable organizations in hopes of making this world a better place.
If you would like to make the world a better place there are organizations which can use your donations.
If people in Colorado want to donate blood in honor of Michael, they can either contact Belles Bonfils http://www.bonfils.org/
(When you donate blood ask for a card to fill out recording your donation and mail it to Michael.)
or Presbyterian Saint Lukes Medical Center Blood Bank http://www.pslmc.com/blood_donor/index.htm
Outside of Colorado, you can donate blood at your local blood bank.
I would encourage people to make a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society http://www.leukemia.org/hm_lls
Michael and I won't be able to have a team at this year's Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) Light the Night event in Denver this Fall because it is on the Jewish Holiday of Sukkot, but we hope to have a team in 2011 and we still support the LLS.
Michael was unable to eat food by mouth until recently. You can donate non-perishable items to your local food bank in honor of Michael. In Denver you can make financial donations to Tomcahi Shabbat C/O EDOS 198 South Holly Denver CO 80246. Make your tax deductible check out to Tomchai Shabbat and in the memo section write, "in honor of Michael Schwartz".
Alone, one person can't heal the whole world, but together we can make the world a better place. Let's try.
