THE BEE'S KNEES is the team that I lead annually in The Miles for Myeloma 5k walk/run. My father Jim Burns is currently battling this wretched cancer. It is a debilitating cancer of the blood plasma which stems from bone marrow.
When I was planning this years walk, I had asked my friends to re-post donation links on Facebook or forward weekly emails to their friends and family; I wanted so badly to reach my goal. One night, I received an email from a stranger with the subject 'Interested in donating to The Bee's Knees'. I opened it and as I was reading I was overwhelmed. I felt my heart in my mouth, chills and tears in my eyes. This couldn't be true? I don't even know this guy. The body of the email had said that this stranger was a friend of one of my long-time friends and he was putting together a show with live entertainment in Doylestown, in June and he was looking for a local charity. He was wondering if I was interested in The Bee's Knees being that local charity. He said, I know it won't help for this years (the 5k was in April) event, but it will give you a good start for next year. More invisible kindness.
On Saturday, June 25th, join me for a night of LIVE ENTERTAINMENT at MUGS ON MAIN STREET in DOYLESTOWN, PA FROM 9 PM -2 AM. Proceeds and donations to benefit THE BEE'S KNEES!! Please stop by and say hello!!!
