Tulips Against Tumors

Saw this announcement on the National Brain Tumor Society's Facebook page and decided to join in since I love getting out in the garden and this will be for a good cause. I have ordered my tulips and will be planting them in our garden.

From the organization's website:

JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST BRAIN TUMORS!

"Help build brain tumor awareness by taking part in the sixth annual Tulips Against Tumors Tribute. Purchase tulip bulbs and then plant them on a designated date in honor of all those who have struggled, or are currently struggling, with a brain tumor. Choose from an array of single bulbs, combinations, or colorful mixtures...

National Planting Day - November 6, 2010 at 1 PM EST

Each year in honor of all those affected by brain tumors, we come together as a community to plant our bulbs on a designated date and time. All across the country, members of the brain tumor community will plant their bulbs 'together'. It is a powerful feeling to know that many people are honoring their loved ones by planting tulips at the same time."
