Folks-
While I have a great deal of sympathy for a child dying from cancer, I am not
sure this list should be used for such solictations.  In addition, I remember
an earlier similar request that one of our colleagues checked out with the ACS
and they said they were not sponsors of these messages and did not solicit
donations in this fashion.  So I think we need to be careful with these kinds
of messages; as heart-rendering as they may be, it may not be an appropriate
use of our list or even email in general.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who knows more about these issues.
