One of those people is Don Coggan. He’s the guy behind Accessible.org, and he donates his time and effort to help people with disabilities.

Why does he do this? Because he’d rather donate his time and effort directly, rather than just donating money. You can learn more about Don and why he is helping people with disabilities on his site’s About Us page.

Here’s a short video where Tony, from Sitesell, interviews Don Coggan…

In this case, Don is not building a business with Sitesell’s SBI service. He’s working to help people who need help. He chose SBI, because he wants as many people as possible to find and benefit from his charitable work.

Good work, Don!

I can speak with some experience and insight about this subject.

I nearly died a couple of years ago when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. If I had not been approved for disability and Medicaid coverage of my surgeries and chemotherapy, I’m almost positive I would have died.

However, I was caught by the safety net and I’m getting a little stronger every day. I don’t think I’ll ever be the same strong, tall, giant of a man I used to be, but I’m better than I was a year ago and I intend to be better a year from now.

Sometimes, all we need is some help at just the right time in our lives. Many of us recover and again become productive members of society. Some don’t fare as well and they need continuing help and support.

I’m happy to know I live in a world where people like Don Coggan (and many others) are there to help when they’re needed.

The people who know me the best know that two of the things I appreciate most in this world are boobies. There, I said it.

I want to encourage you to do what you can to help save the boobies.

On a more serious note, most people know someone who’s life was tragically impacted by breast cancer. This is your chance to help promote the 7th Annual Blogger Boobie-Thon to raise funds for breast cancer research and to show your appreciation for boobies everywhere.

This fundraising drive ends at midnight on October 7, 2008, and they have a goal of raising $10,000. With one day left, they need to raise about $2,000 more to reach their goal.

Please do what you can to help.

I have been inspired by all the things President Clinton and Vice-President Gore have been doing to help our world after they left office and I am happy to pass along the word about the latest iniative of the Clinton Global Iniative, a project of the Clinton Foundation.

Launched in 2007, MyCommitment.org reflects President Clinton’s dedication to promoting citizen service. Throughout his life, President Clinton has met inspiring individuals and organizations taking innovative and unique approaches to solving some of the world’s biggest challenges. These encounters also led him to write his second book, GIVING: How Each of Us Can Change the World, which was released in September 2007.

What will you do to help make the world a better place?
