Hey, Wanna Do Something Great?! Sign Our Petition and I Promise You, Good Things Will Happen!

Woody said tonight that there is no way that our petition is going to get enough signatures. He then said, “You are going to freak out, if it doesn’t.”

That might be an understatement. I have been working my ass off, trying to get people to sign this. Ummmm…. if you read this blog, and haven’t signed this, and you can because you live in this country, I fear for your soul. For real.

We have until February 6th. Please help us out. This is not just about Ronan. It is about ALL KIDS, PEOPLE! If you have signed, thank you so very much. Please continue to share this with anyone and everyone. If you have not signed this and are continuing to ignore this… What is your problem?!?! Too many puppies and unicorns, I guess.

You have to live in America in order to sign this. Sorry to all my international readers:( And you have to be 13 or older. Those are the only rules that apply.

I can’t believe out of over 11 million hits for this blog
and there’s not enough signatures yet! I have signed and shared.
Come on people! Sign the petition! I can’t believe this! Where’s
the support for these children that deserve this?

I just sent this to two hospitals that take care of kids.
Hopefully they can pass it on to people too. And I sent it to a few
other people who can help. And keep tweeting it every day. Not just
once but a lot. The more you do the more people will see it. It’s
almost at 10,000 signatures now so at least it’s getting
there.

With how many people view each of Maya’s blog posts, I
really am wondering how it hasn’t hit 25,000 yet. Maya is on her
knees begging and begging for the sake of these children, and some
people don’t wanna even take 2 minutes to sign the thing. YOUR
signature DOES make a difference and it WILL help! Please just sign
it. These kids and these parents deserve this.

Maybe you should send Obama a pict of both of his daughters
with little bald heads hooked up to ivs saying what your kids would
look like with cancer it’ll prob hit home hard then.

I’ve been tweeting about this a lot. This evening I got
people to retweet my tweet and together they have around 25,000
followers. Hopefully doing that every day will get more signatures.
Everyone should look up places like cancer organizations and
hospitals and email them and ask if they can help. If you’re on
Twitter tweet about this. A lot. Even if you only have a few
followers maybe you can get a few signatures. It shouldn’t be too
hard to get 25,000 signatures.

I’m right there with you Maya! I am THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED
that there aren’t 25,000 people who don’t want cancer ravaging and
murdering more innocent children. It sickens me to my soul that
with all the sharing and posting we’ve done, people aren’t stepping
up. WTFFFFFFFF? PEOPLE?! I guess it has to be their own kid and
that is what’s wrong all over the world. No one wants to hear bad
news. wah wah wah. But what if they could do something, ONE THING
that can make a difference. A signature. Why is that so
hard?

I have a thought, there a few blogs out there written by
parents of children with cancer. Can an email to sent, or a comment
posted, with the link to the petition and a note asking the blogger
to post it on their site as well? Send an email to some of the
‘mommy’ bloggers ask them is they will post

Sorry, I am not sure what happened to the end of my
comment. What I was saying was if it is sent to the ‘mommy’
bloggers, who might not have a child with cancer but write a blog.
maybe they can write a blurb and post it on their sites, it will
increase the awareness for people who may follow a different type
of blog. It is all about raising awareness.

we did this for March for Babies in honor of preemies to have them light the white house purple for 1 day. We had more than enough signatures but they wouldn’t light it purple 😦 We got a letter from President Obama saying he appreciated our efforts and supported our cause. I sincerely hope they light it up gold in honor of Childhood cancer. I signed! 🙂

You should see if you can get her to write about it on her wall. I signed my name on the petition and shared on my Facebook. Good luck! It HAS to happen!

to change…I have lots of faith in you and what you are doing. You
are a true blessing and Ronan is just like his Mama…I am sorry

monkey! I am sorry that this happened to your family…Ronan will
show you the way…good luck to you always! ~Dena

Maya, you don’t have to live in America to sign it. I don’t and I’ve signed it! It seriously takes no longer than 2 minutes, I don’t know what makes someone not want to sign this!

Anyway, i’ve been following you for a long time and never left a comment here, so I’d just like to say you and Ro have changed my life – but I wish you hadn’t, I wish you didn’t have this blog, I wish he were still here, I wish kids never got cancer, I wish kids never got sick at all. But you managed to find a beautiful way to honor him, and that is by making us all love him too. But I mean, how could we not?? So I just wanna say I’m SO very sorry, and that I’ll be forever thankful to you for making me realize that things need to change. And they will. With someone like you putting so much time, work and effort on it, I’m sure I’ll live to see big, huge things accomplished.

I can’t wait to see all of your dreams and plans come true. You are amazing and the world needs someone like you to fight for those who don’t have a voice but so desperately need to be heard.

I’m gonna stop now before I run out of tears…

Luisa, from Brazil.

When you state America do you mean the U.S.
I’m pretty sure I signed the petition 7-8 days ago. I live north of Toronto; registered and signed – I wasn’t informed that my signature wouldn’t count.

I took a look at the last 1,000 or so signatures on the petition trying to find mine…. Most included the City/State; some didn’t indicate place of residence.

Don’t e discouraged if you live in Canada – go ahead and sign it! Your vote might just count! The Ronan Thompson Foundation and the awareness it has created will benefit children everywhere!
