My friend sent me this email, and I thought I'd post it so they can get as much support as possible. Just to let you know, this is not a scam- these are friends of mine that I grew up with and still keep in contact with. If you can't order a cookbook, but want to donate- they appreciate anything- click on the link listed below. If you want to post this on you blog to help spread the word, please feel free! They can use all the prayers and support!
Thanks!!
Hi Friends and Family,
Many of you have heard about and may even be following the progress of Robert Ashworth, 24, my brother-in-law (married to my sister, Ashley, 23), who is currently recovering from his 2nd Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT). He has leukemia (AML), and after his 1st BMT last summer and several months in remission, leukemia cells were detected in routine blood work this past February. Since February, he has undergone 3 more rounds of chemotherapy, full body radiation, and a week ago received his 2nd BMT at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City . If you’d like more info, you may visit this blog which is regularly (usually daily) updated with information about Robert and his treatment: http://adventuresofrobdobandashpants.blogspot.com/.
Because they are a young, married couple (their 3rd anniversary was this week) and are going through this second round of intensive treatment, we (their families) have made several fundraising efforts on their behalf to cover or at least help offset his medical care and treatment costs not covered by his insurance.
I have decided to put together a cookbook of Robert’s favorite recipes as well as much-loved recipes from his extended family to sell. This cookbook is currently in its pre-sale stage. To get all the details, you can go here: http://supportforrobdob.blogspot.com/ or read on for a copy of the post below.
If you are unable to purchase a cookbook or uninterested in doing so at this time, please consider making a donation or sharing this opportunity with someone else who may be interested by forwarding this email.
Thank you so much for your love, friendship, and prayers!
Sincerely,
Kristin Baker
All about ordering the cookbook (this is the same info on the support for RobDob blog):
The Cookbook fundraiser for RobDob, our Superhero, is underway! Starting NOW, you may order a cookbook filled with recipes Robert loves as well as recipes his extended family make and love. The pre-sale will end Monday, July 20th!
The cookbook will be similar to the one pictured on the blog (http://supportforrobdob.blogspot.com/). It will be a professional, padded 3-ring binder for ease-of-use, will have a custom color cover, a couple dedication pages, tabbed dividers, and approximately 150 recipes to turn you into a Super Cook!The pre-sale cookbook price is $20. If you are not local to Las Vegas , please add $2 shipping per book, for a total cost of $22 per book. Because this is a custom cookbook, it won't be ready for about 3 months. After the pre-sale, the cookbook price will be $25 (plus shipping). This is a pretty awesome fundraiser because 70% of the gross sales will go straight to cover Robert's health care costs.Feel free to order more than one book. The cookbooks will be delivered to us and shipped to you during October and will make great Christmas gifts! To order, please send an email to robdobcookbook@sbcglobal.net and include the following info:
Name
Address
Phone
Email
Address
Number of Cookbooks You Are Ordering
Payment Total (including $2 shipping per cookbook ordered) and Method of Payment Used
Once your email and payment are received, I will send you a confirmation email. You have two payment options:
You may pay using the "Donate" button on the blog (http://supportforrobdob.blogspot.com/).
You may send a check payable to Kristin Baker. If you'd like to mail me a check, let me know in your email, and I will respond with my address. (I'm a bit hesitant to post it on the web).
If you have any questions, please leave a comment or send an email to the above email address. Feel free to help us spread the word about the cookbook sale. Please feel free to share this information with anyone you know who loves to cook or knows Robert and may wish to support him in this way.
Hurry and place your order now so you may take advantage of the special pre-sale pricing! Remember, the pre-sale ends July 20th!
Thank you for the support you give Robert and Ashley in so many ways. They feel your love and prayers.
