Benefit in Kindra's Honor

Hi all,

Some of Kindra and Mark's generous friends are throwing a benefit for cancer research in Kindra's honor. Please see the details below:


“Love, Hugs and Good Health”
This was Kindra McLennan’s signature sign-off on her personal blog entries, documenting her battle with cervical cancer, beginning with her diagnosis in April 2008. On January 2, 2009, Kindra died peacefully with her husband and close friends by her side. Her story is not only an inspiration for her friends and family, but also for the thousands who read her words and recognize her as a true hero.

Kindra promoted cervical cancer awareness through her blog and we hope to continue that effort at a fun gathering to raise money in Kindra’s name to benefit the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
This event is to honor Kindra’s spirit by raising cervical cancer awareness. With continued cutting-edge research, we hope to see an end to cancer in our lifetime.

Del Rey (2332 1st Ave in Belltown)

6-10 pm

We will be in the back room with drink specials available! We are asking for a $10 suggested donation at the door - bring your checkbooks for further donations!

Remembering and Celebrating Kindra

Dear all,

Now is the time to remember and celebrate this beautiful person. Kindra truly touched all of our lives. From the comments on previous posts, and from knowing her, I know it didn't matter how much time or how little time was spent with her, she had a way of making a positive impact on each of us just by being in her presence. Her friendship was a gift and that gift lives on in our memories.

I am asking all of you to help celebrate, whether you are near or far, by sending me pictures of you and your family in your Kindra'd Spirit ensembles so I can post them on the blog. This will help us all feel part of this celebration and show all the friends and family of Mark and Kindra how much she is loved.

If you haven't purchased one yet, you can still do that at www.snarkybabies.com/kindra. There is adult apparel on the site too! All proceeds go to the trust. I even have a deal for you. If you purchase $50 or more and put in this code: CANDORPURVEY, you will get $5 off. Full profit will still go to the trust even with this coupon.

Please e-mail me the pictures at marns23@gmail.com and I will start posting them for all to see!
