100 Days of Giving: Aneurysms, Fibromuscular Dysplasia & Fuzzy Friends

There is a great website that allows you to create your own foundation and give to your favorite charities. GiveBack tracks all your charity donations for tax purposes. I do find that at the end of the year I am shuffling through drawers etc trying to find tax receipts- (Yes, it would be easy to keep them in one file- but when you have some receipts coming through the mail, some on line, some in person- it is much easier to stuff them in the junk drawer and deal with them later) What I really like about this program is that is allows you to give by shopping on line, a portion of the sales goes to your foundation and you decide where and how the money is used. Take a look and see if GiveBack is right for you. Join me in the 100 days of giving- it is easy to do. Click on link below and get started!

There is a dissection on RCI, thrombosis at origin of REI, and LEI with various aneurysms. My diagnosis is fibromuscular dysplasia with aneurysm and thrombosis.
