Business Cards To Help 10 Year Old
Business Cards To Help 10 Year Old
Help Brandon break the Worlds Record! Send your Business card!
Brandon Rayner is 10 years old and fighting Leukemia. He not only wants to beat his disease but he also wants to break the World Record for a business card collection!
Now how easy is it to put your card and the cards of your business partners in an envelope and mail them by August 15th to the address below?
He is NOT asking for money just a little help to have 2 dreams come true! Pretty awesome for a 10 year old!
He also would love for you to be checked as a bone marrow donor to help find a match not only for him but the thousands of others that suffer with Leukemia.
Lets see how many parts of not only the US but, all over the world will help Brandon reach his goal.
I know that some of you are ‘all knowing’ when it comes to Viral Marketing – show Brandon what it is all about! Get your online friends to send in their business cards! Better yet – get them to go and be checked as a bone marrow donor on their way to the post office!
If you'd like to add to Brandon's business card collection you can send your card by August 15, 2008 to:
Sunrise Children's Hospital, Pediatric Oncology
3186 S. Maryland Parkway
Las Vegas, NV 89109
Attention: Brandon Rayner
Here is the link to KVBC Channel 3 here in Las Vegas that just aired the story.
Business Card and Bone Marrow Drive
Ok, I am excited to see what Sunrise Hospital does when all of you start sending in those cards!! Just think of the smile Brandon will have when he starts getting cards from all over the world!
Maybe let your kids make a picture or card to add in the envelope.
National Bone Marrow Donor Program
Be sure to leave your name here so we can all know you are sending a business card.
Thank you so much!

I think he will be so excited to see people from all over supporting him.
I know that it must be super hard to stay positive while sitting in a hospital but, this may help keep his spirits up!
I hoped the WAHM's would support this! Heck, WAHM's are the backbone of life!! LOL!
Thanks again Jo!
Sheryl
Best of luck to Brandon -- we're all in this together!
My son's name is Brandon to. Cool Huh! Look for a business card from me to ok!
Thank you Sheryl for spreading the word.
Millard
Thank you for stopping by and helping get even more information to everyone.
You have a wonderful site. I encourage everyone to go and see what you can learn and how you can help.
I am not sure how you found this post but, I am really glad you did.
I think anytime you can share this type of information to people is great. I think if something like Leukemia does not directly affect your family or friends you just do not think about it.
I know that registering as a donor is completely painless! Here in Las Vegas they do have a fee but, it is very slight compared to what it can do for someones life.
Again, I thank you for taking the time to share your story.
Sheryl Loch
I am sure the online marketers can really boost his numbers! There are so many of us and we are all great people. Well, most are great! LOL!
I even sent emails to Kurt and Kyle Busch (NASCAR drivers from Las Vegas) to see if they will help out!
I have a guy at Fit Fuel in Las Vegas going to get their crew in on it also.
Just having you all stop and take the time to read this and mail off your cards is making my day!!
You all Rock!!
Sheryl Loch
I sent an Email to Kurt And Kyle Busch Racing teams.
I just got a message from Kurts assistant here it is -
Sheryl,
We will definitely send Brandon some business cards and an autographed promo card.
Sincerely,
Kristy Cloutier
I know NASCAR is the best sport in the world but, that is because they are real people. Many of the drivers do things to help out their community and special causes. That is why it has grown to be one of the biggest sports in the country!
Since I am a huge Busch Boys fan, I get ribbed sometimes. That is OK! The Busch boys are not only great drivers but, they are great people.
Thank you all the response to Brandons Card collecting has been GREAT!
Sheryl Loch
I've written down his address and plan to send one off.
The response has been fantastic,

I am so glad you are sending Brandon a card.
I think it is amazing how many WAHM's have responded on the boards and a few here. Maybe since we have kids we know how important it is for kids to have goals, no matter how crazy. LOL!
You also have some great info on your blog Mommy Revenue. Like I posted there, I have been finding different things to do to fill slow time. This is one, come August I will be super busy with the 30 Day Challenge. I better enjoy being slow now. LOL!
Thank you again Rhonda!!
Sheryl Loch
I know that you have seen how much doing something simple like this has really brightened my days.
I love that so many busy people will take a few minutes out of their day to; address an envelope, put on a stamp, and mail their business card.
Even people that I really do not even know have emailed and Twittered that they would send cards and ask their associates to do the same.
You all are super!
Brandon is getting closer to his Worlds Record each day.
I also think that this will help everyone stop and think about Registering as a Bone Marrow Donor.
People just need to talk about it.
Emru left his link to his site - WOW! It is full of great info. A must see - http://www.healemru.com
Thanks again Brad,
Sheryl Loch
Love & Prayers for Dear Brandon!
Suzanne
Thank you so much for stopping in.
With people like you helping out, Brandon will be closer to his pot of gold.
Love and Prayers are always welcome!
Thank you again,
Sheryl Loch
I will get my business card out ASAP!
Hang in there Brandon! God Bless You!
All things are possible to him that believes!
Cruz & Tina
Thank you for stopping in.
I think it is great how many people are sending Brandon business cards. That along with all the well wishes and positive thoughts will make a huge difference.
Knowing that their are so many people that care, makes any road a lot less bumpy. :)
Thanks again,
Sheryl Loch
This is a great story, I will pass it on for you and send some Aussie cards.
I also maybe in Vegas in September, stay in touch
You are great!
Cards from Australia - that is sooooo cool!!!
I love your post 'Smiley Saturday' about Brandon on your Abundance blog! That is some positive vibrations going out! Heck, those vibrations made it to Las Vegas! :)
Thank you for the smile!
Sheryl Loch
Suzie, I found your blog as your link was send around the Twitter Universe. Thanks to the Twitterette that Tweeted!
September is a great time to visit Las Vegas. It is starting to cool off a bit by then. Can Cait and I fit in your bag when you go back to Australia? We have always wanted to go, and the beach would do me good! ;)
I will send you my card. And post this in my communitys. your an inspiration.
Blessings,
Kathy Hamilton/simikathy
Glad you stopped in, sending your cards, and helping reads the word. I know that you know soooo many people that will send Brandon a business card.
It's amazing what a few minutes and a stamp can do to help someone feel better.
The more prayers, well wishes, positive thoughts, and people that become aware that the Bone Marrow Donors are needed the better.
Thanks for passing this along,
Sheryl Loch
I have a lot of cards I hope are in time by you when I send it from Italy.
Hugs
Irmgard
Hugs, Pam
Wow! Italy!
That is so super great!
I am sure he will be surprised having people there know about him and his story!
If he is not at the hospital at the time they arrive I am sure they will forward them or call his family to come pick up any mail.
The Sunrise Childrens Hospital does a great job at staffing wonderful people and taking great care of the kids.
Thank you so much for your time and caring!
Sheryl Loch
Maybe I should contact you so I can go visit Irmgard in Italy and Suzie in Australia! LOL!Oh how I wish!
Thank you so much for stopping in and sending a few more cards to Brandon.
I read that his blood drive had a great turn out but, no match for him as of yet. I know that all of the prayers and positive thoughts is going to lead the right person to the donor clinic soon.
Thank you Pam!
Sheryl Loch
We just read about you and your story quest to collect the most business cards ! We are sending you some cards for your collection ! We will also be praying for you and your family during this time and sincerely hope they find a donor for you so you can as well conquer and return to complete Health!

Do you think he will be able to use old membership cards too, and what about loyalty cards - do they count?
I'm going to have a look around tomorrow to see if I can get more from local businesses. I'll send them by airmil from the UK.
PS - I twittered the post - maybe others can too!
Thank you bringing it to everyone's attention! The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is one of my pet charities, even though no one I know directly has been affected with either L. They just approached me to work on their behalf years ago and I have ever since!
I think it's seeing how tough this disease is on the children that is so moving!
Blessings to Brandon and His Family!
In Joy!

Thank you for taking time out of your day to send Brandon some cards and well wishes.
I know from looking at your site you are a very busy gal!
The time it takes to help out a neighbor (no matter how many miles) is is just 1 of the 101 ways to improve your life. :)
Thank you,
Sheryl Loch
Thanks for bringing the UK to help make this worldwide.
I'm sure Brandon will be super excited about cards from the way beyond. You can keep the Weetabix on that side of the water! ;)
I will talk with you soon to see what we can add to your post 'The Raccoon Circle'.
Sheryl Loch
For people outside of the US a previous poster, Emru, has a wonderful site to find out about Leukemia and marrow donor programs worldwide - http://www.healemru.com
Posting you a large parcel of cards today. I have also written to other Aussie Bloggers and to a Tv station- so lets see what happens.
I am coming to Las Vegas in September for Blog World
Maybe we can meet
Suzie
Thank you so much for coming by and supporting a very worthwhile project.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society is lucky to have people like you on their side spreading the word of healing.
I know what Reiki Healing can do. To have a whole group together sending love, light, and healing is great!
Thank you so much!!!
Love and light back at ya'! :)
Sheryl Loch
Thanks for sending in your cards.
I have a feeling that this small project has turned into great things!
Thank you bunches,
Sheryl Loch
We will soon read about the Aussie invasion at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas!!
That is great that he will have business cards from all over the world!!
Hey, all of you Aussie bloggers rock!
No worries mate, your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Now, I must go look and see what Blog World is. I already know what M&M world is. LOL!
Thanks again and will be glad for the chance to meet you in September!
Sheryl Loch
I did get a message that a group from http://www.fitfuel.com/ will be gathering a few surprises and heading up to the hospital.
I want to thank them for helping get the word out and for taking the time to get involved! They have passed the link to this post through Twitter and I am sure the message has made the rounds through their offices.
Thank you FitFuel Team!!
I have also got a message that Kyle Busch, #1 NASCAR driver, will also be sending some cards!! His brother Kurt Busch, a former NASCAR Cup winner, also answered that they have some on the way!! We love our Vegas boys! :)
Thanks!!
Sheryl Loch
Since most of you won't know... a couple hours after Brandon's story (which aired on television here) the mayor of Las Vegas stopped by the hospital to visit him and give him a special business card.
There is a huge drive in Las Vegas to collect buisness cards with virtually every casino participating. When the counting officially stops I wouldn't be surprised if he has around a million, far more than the 150k he was hoping for.
I am sending you a business card from N Ireland
Good luck on breaking the World Record.
Keep the faith
Bless You!
Fionnuala
Good Luck! It sounds like you're going to break the record! Sending you one more!
God Bless,
Dawn
Thank you for stopping in and letting us know that The Convention Center is helping push Brandon's goal way up and over the top!
I knew a few of the Casino's were going to collect cards. It's great to know that so many are also working on this project.
As for Oscar Goodman - Why doesn't the nation wide news stations ever jump on to show how many good things he does for the people here in Las Vegas? He helps out with so many charity and goodwill events and the news only talks about him when they think it is negative.
We do have the greatest mayor in the world!
I am just learning about Blog World. I hope to be able to swing that, what a great group of 'news' people will be there. Bloggers are real people with real ideas and opinions. As you can see they also reach far and wide with their big hearts, prayers, and love of what's important in the world!
Thanks Andrew hope to see you in September,
Sheryl Loch
Wow, you ladies with the travel sites are really making me think I need to go somewhere cool (Las Vegas is a bit warm).
It is super great that you are not only sending your own card but, also asking your downline partners to send theirs!
I know others have tried to collect business cards but, I do not know if they have gotten a turn out like this.
I hope that all this attention is also reminding people to register as a Marrow Donor.
Thank you Judy for helping Brandon!
Sheryl Loch
I have your in the mail in the am.
I have shared this information with my favorite friends, so look for many more!
God Bless
Kathy Reilly
Great to have an Irish girl stop in.
We red heads have to stick together!;)
I am sure Brandon will be excited to be receiving packages from far away lands.
Thank you so much for your time, effort, and thoughtfulness!
Sheryl Loch
I have been to your site and saw the sweets. Wow, how do you resist eating your profits? :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to help Brandon with his project. I am sure he will reach his goal with the help of people like you!
Sheryl Loch
Thanks for sending Brandon's information out!
It is amazing what we can do when everyone pulls together for a common cause.
So glad you stopped in and took time to spread the word to help Brandon's World Record become a reality!
Thank you,
Sheryl Loch
Thank you for spreading the word and making the address available. I just packaged about 300 cards and they will be on their way from Florida on Monday.
All my love to you as well as to Brandon. We're rooting for him!
Friendly greetings
Ingrid Webster
Hang in there Buddy. I've enclosed some cards for your goal. Best wishes and I will pass the word.
You are in our prayers.
Jay & Family
