Default Hurray for MEEEE!
This lowly intern made the front page of the Kingston Times with his hard hitting story on a charity that makes pillowcases for people with cancer.


Sorry. I'm just so excited about it, I have to post about it. WOOT WOOT!

Comfort Zone

I'm open to criticism on this. It'll only help me, so be honest.

Thanks for the kind words peeps.

Very well written! I got into reading it for content and forgot to read it critically! I could only find one tiny criticism - technically they aren't "fighting" cancer, as you have in your title, but they are certainly making things more comfortable for cancer victims, since so many will lose their hair in chemo, a nice soft pillowcase will be very welcome. The layout is good and it always helps to have a good photo of a quartet of pretty young girls to accompany it! You ought to send it to the NY Times as a human interest story. Again, congratulations!
