Wow has it gotten colder or what...? Well with the help of weather, I can gladly address my favorite topic of choice; Love Your Melon or the fancy LYM a ton of college students seem to be seen with. Love your melon is an organization on college campuses across the nation that was started by college students and is now a nonprofit for college students. Love Your Melon helps spread awareness of pediatric cancer and they help with supporting friends and families of children who age up to twenty years of age.

We are a group of students who help promote the sell of beanies, ball caps, shirts and more and with the help of your shopping trip online at www.loveyourmelon.com we can use credits to visit children who are fighting cancer dressed normally or as superheroes.

Now with the brief statement of what Love Your Melon is, and what we do, I will mind as well share my personal reason as to why I joined. So here goes nothing...

I honestly have a few inspirations as to why. My first inspiration is out to my cousin who fought and won to Leukemia a few years ago while in the fourth grade. My second inspiration is just a small town high school dreamer who had a lot going for her. Today she is with us in our hearts and she inspired me greatly to join; Rachel was a person with a big heart, and I feel that if she could she would have started a LYM crew at her university.

So now that it's a known fact of what LYM is and what we do, and why I really joined, I think it kind of brings us to my closing. I have met amazing people through LYM and I'm grateful and blessed to know I can change other peoples' lives across the nation with just being a college girl wearing a beanie or a ball cap. I hope to see others joining up in crews and inspiring others to smile and help us all fight pediatric cancer.

Until next week!
