2.006: help save nick glasgow campaign

The campaign to find a life-saving bone marrow match for Nick is accelerating, with broad support from customers and competitors alike.

In order to avoid this campaign taking on the characteristics of blog-o-spam, we EMC bloggers are collectively centralizing our communications about the progress of the campaign and the status of Nick's situation over on Mark Fredrickson's (new) blog: markfredrickson.wordpress.com.

Further, we are encouraging the use of the #helpnick tag on Twitter, and we are deploying the banner graphic above on our future posts, including those not specifically related to Nick.

All bloggers worldwide – EMC or not – are encouraged to use this banner and to link it back to Mark's blog. If you'd like to blog Nick's story, feel free, but we'd appreciate your linking to Mark's posts to ensure your/our respective readers know where to go for the latest status.

That said, I'd like to personally thank all the companies, partners, customers and competitors who have joined in the campaign. The broad support is truly appreciated by Nick and his family and friends, as you can see for yourself over at markfredrickson.wordpress.com.

Thanks!

Hi Barry,

I had posted a blog on Saturday about Nick but as bad luck would have it, it was lost while my blog site was migrated. I've reposted a new blog and was able to grab the HTML from your blog to add the banner. You can find it here: http://tinyurl.com/okvrqo.

God bless Nick and his family,
