Last night my girlfriend experienced the power of Steemit. She is incredibly grateful.
I posted last week, explaining that my girlfriend, Shereen, is participating in The Ride to Conquer Cancer. The 200-km ride takes place over two days; it is a cycling journey/fundraiser that aims to create hope for those who have been impacted by cancer.
In the post, I explained that all rewards earned would go toward helping Shereen earn her fundraising goal of $2,500 CAD. Thanks to your support, she has come much closer to reaching that target!
The author rewards from my Steemit post were valued at $325.85 USD.
This roughly works out to a value of $430 CAD. As soon as the payout was confirmed to my Steemit account, I sent the donation to Shereen's fundraising page, and signed the donation courtesy of the "Steemit Community."
Excellent! & Although I'm not quite ready to launch my initiative I'll do an early one with this post!
100% UpVoted, @randowhale UpVoted & Re-steemed! More about the Initiative here...

No Problem!! You know Im all about the charity rides & kick'n cancers ass! If I was at 100% VP it would have given more of a boost but hopefully it helps get it trending! Sorry I missed the first post.
Sounds great that Shereen has come much closer to reaching her target with the help of Steemians. Steemit is a great community. It is also great from your side that you made this post to say thank you!
Agreed: Steemit is a great community.
I'm excited to donate all the earnings from this post to her fundraising page as well. I'm struggling to find the right words to express our gratitude. This is powerful stuff.
Damn, you good guy!

That sharing is sweet, I am glad to see that steemit helps a lot of people in that way, other than providing a platform for author and reader to give and take, it furnishes a good platform for charity purpose , contributed by every single of us. I hope the cancer research goes well too! Good luck!
I think we're constantly discovering ways that Steemit can be used to make a powerful impact offline (as well as online). It's inspiring to see so many people supporting a cause they feel strongly about.
Wow... that's so cool! I love how Steemit has a real community of people helping people!
