Operation Snowball

In keeping with the holiday spirit, Kaitlin's Cauze has decided to commence Operation Snowball.

Three years ago, prior to Kaitlin's own diagnosis of epilepsy, she started a "pay it forward" Christmas project. It was her way of spreading a little Christmas Joy.  Less than two weeks after starting her project, she had her first seizure which was then followed by a diagnosis of epilepsy on December 17th, 2008.

This year we decided to have another go at it, and include different twists.  Our reasoning is simple: it's Christmas!!! We believe that by focusing on others, it helps take our minds off of our own problems.

Operation Snowball (the name was suggested by Kaitlin's brother:) is a pay it forward type of project.  The mission, should you decide to accept, is simple...  Simply choose a stranger or a person in need, for a random act of kindness from YOU. 

You may do any type of act of kindness that you want.  The one exception is: no home-made food. 

1) You can give a gift, money, or do something nice for a stranger.
2) All random acts of kindness MUST be done anonymously.
3) A Kaitlin's Cauze note must be included with whatever act you do. It is up to you to figure out how to include the note in your act...

FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECIEVED AN ACT OF KINDNESS OR GIFT, these are your instructions:

1)  Pay it forward using the instructions above.
2)  Leave a comment under this blog post and tell us where the snowball landed (the act of kindness) example: the snowball landed in Orlando, Florida.  You may then describe what happened to you, if you want. example: the snowball landed in Orlando, Florida when a complete stranger paid for my lunch.
3)  Please visit: Kaitlin's Cauze to learn more about epilepsy

Operation Snowball will end at midnight on December 25th. Kaitlin is hoping to have a lot of participants!!!! 

We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.
