…be kind…

 

Could it be that these two simple words could change the world? Imagine a world where everybody lived by this simplest of philosophies. These words were posted on the outside of Dr. Frederick Zipser’s home and office and represented a state of mind and outlook on life that affected not just his life but countless lives with whom he came in contact.

 

It is easy to forget this outlook while in the midst of our complex and hectic lives. It is also easy to overlook both the complexity and delicate balance of the human body as well as those who are not as fortunate to have everything “work” the way it does for the rest of us. This was the idea behind linking the simplicity of the be kind message to an extraordinary cause dedicated to fixing a simple problem with a complicated solution.

100% of the proceeds generated from the sale/donations of the be kind bumper stickers will go the Children’s Fund for GSD Research (www.curegsd.org). The Children’s Fund for GSD Research is a 501c3 charity established to help find a cure for Glycogen Storage Disease Type 1. GSD1 is a genetic metabolic disorder that occurs when a specific liver enzyme is either missing or not functioning.

 

Enjoy the peaceful be kind message and take comfort in knowing that your donations are going towards finding a cure for those who desperately need one.

For more information on how to get your be kind bumper stickers, please contact Valerie Rosen: valerierosen@hotmail.com, or call 914-232-8228.
