Goodsearch is making it easier to help the HPS Network

Now it's even easier to help raise money for the HPS Network. For several years now HPS Network supporters have been able to help raise money by simply using the search engine at www.goodsearch.com. The Network earns a penny for every search, and the search engine is powered by Yahoo! Goodsearch also added an online mall where a percentage of all purchases will go to the HPS Network.

Other charities - charities even smaller than ours that aren't even facing the sort of life and death health issues we face, have raised thousands of dollars a penny at a time.

We can do it too!

Now Goodsearch is offering an HPS Network custom toolbar. That way you don't have to go to the Goodsearch page to search the Web with the Goodsearch engine or to shop at Goodsearch merchants.

I think often it's easy to forget to use Goodsearch, and a tool bar at the top of your browser with the HPS logo is a great way to remember!

Here's the info from Goodsearch about the new toolbar:

We have something new and exciting we'd like to share with you! It’s the new HPS Network - Hermansky Pudlak Syndrome toolbar – once added to IE or Firefox, each time you shop at more than 1,300 stores (from Amazon to Zazzle!) a percentage of your purchase will automatically be donated to HPS Network - Hermansky Pudlak Syndrome – at no cost to you (and you may even save money as the toolbar provides coupons and deals as well!). The toolbar also has a search box and each time you search the Internet, about a penny is donated to HPS Network - Hermansky Pudlak Syndrome. http://www.goodsearch.com/toolbar/hps-network-hermansky-pudlak-syndrome

And please pass this along to all of your friends. The two minutes it takes to add this toolbar to your browser can make a lifetime of difference!

Ratner's Cheesecake

Here's another recipe from Toby! Thanks Toby......and I'll get the others posted soon! Ratner's Cheesecake and plain cookies Ratner's was a Jewish dairy restaurant in the lower East Side of Manhattan. This recipe, from my disintegrating, no longer in print Ratner's cookbook, is the closest I've ever gotten to reproducing the rich, heavy cheesecake my mother made when I was a kid. It's worth the time it takes to prepare and every last calorie. Dough Can be prepared in advance. Makes enough for two cakes. Can be frozen or used to make cookies – see recipe below. 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients with hands. Refrigerate 3 -4 hours, or preferably overnight. Filling (for

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.

Help for one of our newest HPS friends

As many of you know, I have a google alert set up for all sorts of key terms like albinism, pulmonary fibrosis etc. The following was posted on the blog of a friend of Melanie's.

Melanie will be 26 years old next week. Perhaps some of us would like to contribute to the fund set up to help her and her family for her birthday. Here's the post: Melanie Hernandez, beloved sister and daughter to Pete, Monique, Cookie, and Bugie, has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, a lung disease occurring in people with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome, a very rare disease.Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (“HPS”) is a genetic metabolic disorder.
