Dear Janis,
I'm writing because I know that you're a fan of Science Fiction and Spider was featured in your anthology book "Stars" a while back.
Jeanne Robinson had surgery for a rare and aggressive form of biliary cancer this past February. Her gall bladder, common bile duct and 3/4 of her liver was removed and if the cancer returns further surgery won't be an option. Her options now are limited and expensive, even with the Canadian health system.
Some of her friends are holding a fundraising concert for her and I've been doing some Ebay auctions. It's the writing community who have really come through for Jeanne. Harlan Ellison has just donated dinner for two at Ellison Wonderland, Joe Straczynski donated a set of the B5 script books, Diana Gabaldon and Allen Steele are donating books and DD Barant has put up a Tuckerization in his next book.
I was hoping you might do one of two things: Help me get the word out about the effort and how people can help by posting to your site or perhaps you could donate an item for the Ebay auctions. Either or both would really be great.
More information about Jeanne's condition and more ways to donate directly or help out can be found at http://stardancemovie.blogspot.com/ and my auctions are
eBay Seller: dreamforjeanneauctions: Collectibles items on eBay.com
Thanks for considering this and for anything you can do.
Best regards,
Jan Schroeder
