Help Ivy Lead a Normal Life
I know many of you are already familiar with the lovely Tiff from Three Ring Circus and the sadness of the plight her poor little Ivy has had to struggle with so far in her life. If you do, you’re probably like me and desperately wish there was something you could do.
Well, now there is. I’m a bit behind on my blog reading so have only just read about this petition to emplore the powers that be to reconsider their decision NOT to allocate Ivy the much needed drugs to help her condition.
I love that blogging gives us a voice. That it empowers us and gives us the ability to spread a message far and wide.
Please consider reading and signing this petition (if you haven’t already) and blog about it so that we can spread the word as far as possible.
You can read what other bloggers have had to say about this issue:
Sleepless Nights (Veronica has written a lovely post and set up the petition - thanks for giving us all the opportunity to stand up for Ivy Veronica)
Picklebums (who has some interesting links to the situation)
Sarcastic Mom (a beautiful Haiku dedicated to Ivy)
Republishing Veronica’s original article to help spread the word:
As an interesting aside to this issue, I have just come across some new and wonderful blogs as a result of being united to help with this cause. I’ve been working on culling my reader and now I’ve just added more new blogs. LOL.
If you blog about this, please let me know as I’d love to link to your post here. Let’s unleash “blogger power” and show the government what we’re really made of.
Don’t forget to sign the petition here. We’re up to 190 signatures and the number is growing rapidly. How wonderful would it be to reach 1000 by the weekend?

Thank you Lightening. Just thank you, ok?
Thankyou so very very much.
Wow, when I signed it, it was only up to 7 signatures! It’s great to see how big it’s gotten and I really hope it makes a difference for Ivy.
Hi Lightening… Yay for the blogosphere…
Done!
When I signed it was 193, now I think it is 600+.
Done!
I am so delighted that Ivy has been approved for the drug. Isn’t it wonderful news.
