My lifetime friend Eliot Crowe, who now lives in the USA, contacted me a couple of months ago to see if the idea of a 'meal train' would help Kerry and I through our battle against cancer. We have now gone 'live' with the website...
Calling friends of Dave Symes !!! To help Dave out while he's undergoing radiotherapy, would you make his family a meal? Please read on....
As Dave recovers from his recent surgery and prepares to start radiotherapy on 6th October I’ve been thinking a lot about how I can help. When someone is going through a challenging time, a common thing out here in the USA (where I live) is to organize a “meal train”. A meal train is where friends and family all agree to prepare and deliv...er a single meal. The result is that someone – in this case Dave - can get dinner provided over a period of one or two months, allowing Dave, Kerry, and the kids to focus more of their effort on beating Dave’s cancer. My wife and I received a 30-day meal train when our child was born, and it made a huge difference for us. I talked to Dave about this idea, and being so strongly community-minded he was excited to give the meal train a go so I offered to coordinate it.
So I am asking that you sign up to provide a meal for Dave and his family, and here’s how you do it:
1. Go to the website linked below
2. Select the date that you will provide a meal, and click “TAKE”
3. Enter your name, email address, and phone number
4. Enter the meal you plan to make (optional), and then click “SIGN UP”
5. Mark the date in your calendar, and when the day comes around you’ll drop off your meal at Dave’s house
I’m targeting a minimum 6-week meal train – please sign up now (it only takes a minute), and feel free to sign up for more than one date if you like. Thanks!
