Find a charity that speaks to your heart and makes the change in the world you want to see.
Here are a few of my favorites:

The Gathering Place
TouchedByCancer.org

Anyone touched by cancer can walk in the door and have access to free support groups, counseling, yoga, reiki, etc. Yes, everything is free. It���s run entirely on donations.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure:
ww5.komen.org

A great way to help fight breast cancer and unite survivors with hope.

American Cancer Society
cancer.org

If you���d like to help eradicate cancer once and for all, this is the key organization that offers research, education and services that save lives. For anyone diagnosed, it offers great resources to help them -- and you -- cope.

The Jesuit Retreat House

My spiritual home since 1981. The retreat house offers a wide array of programs and solitude on more than 50 acres for anyone seeking peace and renewal.
