Should a 10 yr old have a Facebook account?
I asked, in an early morning tweet, if our 10 yr old son should have a Facebook acct. The tweet also appeared on my Facebook status update. A Facebook friend then picked up the conversation and, it took off. You can read the rest of the story and updates here.

Elan: Sept. 13 Save-A-Limb-Bike-Ride
The following comes from Elan…
On September 13th, I’m riding in the Save-A-Limb-Bike-Ride. I am hoping that you can help me reach my fundraising goal of $1,000.00!
The Save-A-Limb-Bike-Ride is 6 miles long. The reason I’m doing this bike ride is because it’s for the Rubin Institute, and that’s the place where I had my 2 surgeries, and that’s the place that’s getting me better!
I’ll be doing the bike ride, along with my mom & dad, to raise money for the Save-A-Limb Fund which is a part of the Rubin Institute in Baltimore, Md.
The money raised from our bike ride will be used for people with no health insurance that need surgery. The institute, part of Sinai Hospital, does limb lengthening and hip surgeries. I had my operations done there because they have the most advanced technology for my hip condition. Now, I want to do something so that another kid can have the same chance as me.
We’ve been riding over the summer to get ready for our bike ride and now I need your help! To sponsor me for my September 13th bike ride and to Support the Save a Limb Fund, please visit my webpage and donate. It’s that simple!
All donations are tax deductible too.
This has been a very rough experience, and we want to do everything we can to give back to the Rubin Institute, so please, please help us. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks so much if you can help me! I’ll post pictures of the bike ride to my website and let you all know when they’re up.
Love, Elan
