<p>Can you believe it is that time of year again?! Time seems to fly by faster with each passing year.</p>
<p>Rastin and I would like to wish all of our wonderful Tazzu friends a Happy Holiday, and a prosperous New Year!</p>
<p>Thank you for another year of your friendship and your support.  2010 certainly is going to be a very exciting year for us with the arrival of Anahita getting closer every day.  Stay tuned, we&#8217;ll keep you posted.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>Rastin and Jen</p>
<p><em>PS: Let’s not forget about those less fortunate than us. Maybe drop off some food to the Food Bank, visit someone who is house-bound, or give a special donation to the Salvation Army.</p>
<p>If we all just do one thing, we may be able bring a smile to someone’s face this Christmas who usually struggles this time of year.</p>
<p>We are truly blessed – lets spread it around.</em></p>

<p>I first met Michael-James Pennie at a Tazzu networking even a few years back. I know him as a remarkable, upbeat and positive man. </p>
<p>I read for the first time today that his family has been coping with a debilitating disease which has afflicted his father, Jim, over the past several years&#8230; in 2003 he was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease.</p>
<p><a href="http://tweettoremember.com/index.php" target="_blank"><img src="http://tweettoremember.com/images/ascent-for-alzheimers.jpg"/></a></p>
<p>Pennie writes:<em> &#8220;Our personal lives have never been the same. I never wanted to burden those close to me with my challenges, although there was a nagging instinct inside of me that refused to go away. I had to do something. I became inspired to share my story. I became inspired to be proactive to help not only my father, but those other families affected. &#8220;</em></p>
<p><span id="more-245"></span></p>
<p>MJ felt he needed to do something on a grand scale, and decided to climb the tallest mountain in Africa &#8211; Mount Kilimanjaro. </p>
<p>Pennie has until September 1st, 2009 to raise a minimum of $10,000 dollars, of which 100% of all proceeds will go directly to the Alzheimer Society of BC, to provide support for families and funding for drug research.</p>
<p>I challenge all of us at Tazzu to support our fellow Tazzu Buddy in this awesome cause.</p>
<p>If you can&#8230; please donate soon!  Any dollar amount will help. </p>
