One comment = one vaccine

I'm so honored to serve as a Social Good Fellow for Shot@Life, an initiative of the United Nations Foundation that educates, connects and empowers the championing of vaccines as one of the most cost effective ways to save the lives of children in the world’s hardest to reach places.

This week, my post to mark the unexpected milestone my son E landed upon at age seven launched on Shot@Life's Blogust site on August 7th. It filled me up to blog for such good and to be in the company of talented writers and parents, all tapping away at keyboards to get vaccines to children in need.

My goal was 100 comments. Together, we have far surpassed that. And the number of comments here and on other Blogust posts is on a thrilling up-tick.

Here are three must-read posts by my fellow fellows. Please keep clicking, commenting and sharing all month long so that we can keep children from dying from vaccine-preventable disease.

The power of post-its - At Girl's Gone Child, Rebecca beautifully shares the power of looking back on life, the opportunity of Alzheimer's and a video of sweet baby Bo getting her wave. 

He enjoys being a boy - This post at Lesbian Dad made me weepy and happy and nod along at the wonderful complexities of being a boy and the blessing of being a woman who watches it all unfold.

Passing the torch - Shannon explains why we're doing this and the thunderous clap when 31 bloggers rally for a cause.
