Tuesday Giveaway: Brother Bear 2 and Madea's Family Reunion

Updated again: Homemom, thanks for your generosity. Please send your address to clouth@gmail.com so I can mail your winnings: Brother Bear 2 and Madea's Family Reunion. Congrats!

Updated: After a night's sleep and a few cups of coffee, I realized one DVD's kind of lame considering I'm asking for a donation. So! I'm throwing in another DVD for the winner: Madea's Family Reunion. I've got to run to an appointment, followed by a million other things including John's birthday party. I'll add more info later!

I almost didn't do a giveaway today because I am just dead tired. Too tired to write a review of Brother Bear 2, I'm afraid. But then I had an idea.

My friend Mieke, author of the blog Kid Squared, is raising money for cystic fibrosis. A dear friend of hers discovered last year that her baby, Adelaide, has the disease. In response, they are doing everything they can to raise money and find a cure.

As a carrier of CF myself, I spent a fair amount of time worrying during my three pregnancies that my child would have the disease. We were very fortunate, but the cause is still close to my heart. Also, Adelaide is so close in age to Ava. I would have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by Mieke's plea for donations.

So, to help out Mieke and Adelaide, I'm asking that, to enter to win Brother Bear 2, you make a donation -- however big or small -- to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation using this link. Once you make a donation, come back here and leave me a comment. That's it!

Here's a brief description of Brother Bear 2:
We watched it as a family and found it very moving. I recommend watching Brother Bear first, but it's not absolutely necessary. Anyway, the story involves an American Indian man named Kenai who, through the magic of the Great Spirits, becomes a bear and develops a brotherly bond with the little bear Koda. In this second installment of the tale, the Great Spirits send Kenai and Koda on a journey, and in the end they both have to face some troubling truths and make some big decisions that will change the course of their lives forever. The movie left me with warm fuzzies about the lifelong bonds of family, the sacrifices we make for each other, and the power of forgiveness.

I will accept comments until next Monday, February 5, at midnight EST. Good luck, and thanks for considering Adelaide's cause.
