The Fans of Alex O'Loughlin Donor Campaign salutes the marvelous work done by Alex O'Loughlin Fans For Donate Life.
This group, headed by Sabine Atkins, has done such a wonderful job that our group is throwing our support squarely behind them and encouraging everyone interested in organ donation to view their state of the art website for help and guidance.

We're so impressed by the work you and Claire and the others are doing at Alex O'Loughlin Fans For Donate Life, that we're throwing all our support behind you:
The Fans of Alex O'Loughlin Donor Campaign salutes the marvelous work done by Alex O'Loughlin Fans For Donate Life.
This group, headed by Sabine Atkins, has done such a wonderful job that our group is throwing our support squarely behind them and encouraging everyone interested in organ donation to view their state of the art website for help and guidance.
I've turned Fans of Alex O'Loughlin Organ Donor Campaign into an information only site, still with links to registration of course, but for interaction we're referring them to you.
Keep up the good work!
Love, Nancy
And this is her message back:
Hi Nancy!
Wow thank you all so very, very much, I'll immediately pass this on to the others, this is a big honor for us!
It's very important for us and the progress of the website when we receive open support, and it would be wonderful if the fans also register as followers, if some of them want to also register as authors/guest-bloggers, even better. The more followers we have the more we can show how important Alex's work as Ambassador for Donate Life is for his fans.
Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Love, Sabine
So it would be nice if everyone registered. I'll be doing that today myself.
Nancy

I'm absolutely 100% on board with Sabine, and this group. I'm listed on the site as a contributor under my real name, Claire Eyles. I will be handling the Australian Donate Life and Organ Donor awareness, etc point of view for the site. They also have people from Germany, and Brazil (I believe) on board as well. We're aiming to make this a truly global effort.
I've been corresponding with Sabine a lot over the past few days. I've also seen her around MySpace and other sites for a while now, and have always thought she seemed like a really decent person. And she is, totally. Even just in the short amount of time I've been conversing with her, I can tell how commited she is to this cause, and how determined she is to run a truly decent, integral, and honest campaign that sincerely hopes to benefit Donate Life, and Organ Donor/Transplant Recipient communities everywere.
Alex O'Loughlin Fans For Donate Life has been officially acknowledged by Donate Life Hollywood. And Tenaya Wallace has expressed interest in hearing ideas as to how they can get more of Alex's Fanbase on board to help support Organ Donation. I'm hoping in the next few days (once I've finally managed to get some sleep...I'm running on empty at the moment) to brainstorm some ideas with Sabine, that we can present to Ms Wallace. Feel free to make suggestions of your own as well guys, every little bit helps.
If it hasn't already been stated, I would just like to make it clear that neither Sabine or the Alex O'Loughlin Fans For Donate Life have any sort of official support from, or contact with Alex himself, or Alex's employers, or management. I do believe Alex is at least aware of the site though.
I have a designated Email address for the site now, so if any of you guys have any questions, or concerns, feel free to drop me a line. I will try and find out however much I can, and reply to you as best I'm able to.
And of course I must thank Nancy, and Rusty for all of their efforts with the Fans of Alex O'Loughlin Organ Donor Campaign. It has been an honour to work with you guys, and try and assist you however I've been able.

You've been wonderful Emerald! I'm so impressed by the work you and Sabine have done. And Tenaya is wonderful to work with. I'm so glad to throw our support to you!

Thanks guys, and you are more than welcome, I'm just grateful to be doing my part to contribute towards such a worthy cause.
This is part of the most recent Email I received from Sabine.
I'm perfectly happy with fully combining the "Fans of Alex O'Loughlin Organ Donation Campaign" with "Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life"! Please let me know if Nancy and Patrice want their own dedicated email accounts here as well. To promote the website and its mission, I would like to suggest that the website is not promoted as a single one campaign, but rather a place where individual fans and fan groups can give feedback and show their support for Alex as DL Ambassador, Donate Life and organ donation in general. On the "About and Privacy Policy" page I'll add your, Nancy's and Patrice's names along with the positions you think will describe your work best. You also have my permission to change the name of the MySpace page to "Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life". The website currently doesn't have Twitter, Facebook and MySpace pages, and if you'd like to set them up, you have my permission to do this in any way you think is best. I think it would be better to have a dedicated URL for MySpace, and to avoid confusion we should always use "Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life".
I've already closed down the old Twitter Page and wil be starting a new one for Alex O'Loughlin Fans for Donate Life. Same with the MySpace page. I was planning to overhaul it anyway. I've also changed the Newsfader information, Category, and Board name over at the VampSisters as well.
Let either me or Sabine know what you want to do in regards to having your own dedicated email accounts as well. I'll have to double check, but I think if you have a Gmail account as well you could possibly be a contributor. And have a think about what you want to be listed as on the site also.
And I really don't know what 'position' would describe me best? Rear Admiral perhaps I'm just kidding, obviously. I'm leaning towards something simple like 'Australian Contributor'. This isn't about anyone putting themselves above anyone else, as far as I'm concerned, it's about working together as a team to get the job done. I really don't want to pick any sort of 'position title' that gives anyone the impression that I'm sitting here going 'Yeah, I'm totes better than you, look at my big, important title' So yeah, definitely wanna be coming up with somethng that is nice and simple, and egalitarian.

Yes, we agree Emerald. As far as I'm concerned we're just laborors in the field and always have been. "Member" is fine for us. And I can't think of a reason we'd need an email account there. The really important thing is that the message got out and continues.
MoonChild69, Swims4, Pinkiepie230, Broha, Ros, lincfan, and SharonC, were also big parts of the Fans of AOL Organ Donation Campaign. They were all Mods on the site, and should be considered as well, though they might want to use their real names for this instead of their Board names.
What do you think, guys? It's up to you.

Oh dear how very remiss of me, I didn't mean to leave those guys out. Sorry guys, of course I should have acknowledged you as well.
And yes, if any of you guys want to get on board with this, I'm sure Sabine would be more than happy to have you along. And at least one of you guys is from the U.K. I'm not sure if Sabine has a UK contributor or not. Maybe you could ask about being able to contribute information, and details of awareness raising events etc, from a UK point of view. Like I'm doing for Australia. Worth considering at least.
Not that I'm trying to pressure anyone.

This is a great idea Nancy and you all have my full support. I will register over there too. My name well it's right there LOL.
I like the idea of a UK contact Em but unfortunately with my RL all over the place at the moment I couldn't commit to anything else right this second but perhaps if things settle I would rethink.
The girls are doing a fantastic job getting the word out and I can only hope it continues to grow.
Thanks Sharon That reminds me, I need to log into my other Blogger account and join up to follow Sabine's site as well.
And every little bit counts, even registerig, and increasing the numbers to help the site get more noticed, and stuff, is still doing your bit.
And of course it goes without saying, that Sabine obviously has the final say in stuff like this, because she's the one who sets everything up. All I can do is put forward suggestions, and then talk to her about them. But she is a really sweet, and modest, easy going person so I can't imagine there'd be too many dramas.

No worries, Em, we know there was no slight intended, I just wanted everyone to know that there were other great helping helping with the Campaign site.
I just received this email from Sabine:
If possible, please let everybody know that they are more than welcome to register or tell me their real names so that I can add them manually - but also that they are more than welcome to be authors, contributors or anything they'd like to be! The more fans contribute the better. I'll be happy to give them as big of a part as they've had in the campaign. After all, it would be wonderful if the campaign can go on :)
Sabine, Claire, and everyone assisting are doing great work and deserve whatever support each person here feels they can give. I'm very proud to have signed in as a "Follower".
