For 25 years, we at Newman's Own have had a front row seat to watch Paul's entrepreneurial brilliance, humor, and compassion at work helping those in need. Our company motto, "Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good," was Paul's vision for Newman's Own and it is a philosophy we are proud to continue.

Paul occasionally referred to Newman's Own as the "joke that got out of control" and would express astonishment at its success. Despite this humorous approach, Paul was committed to the company's business and to providing top-notch quality – he brought all-natural food products to a wide audience long before it was fashionable. And he was one of the greatest recyclers, giving back to charity all the money he earned from the sale of Newman's Own products.

Newman's Own has grown into a powerful and lasting expression of Paul Newman's generosity. The Company has generated over $250 million in proceeds that have been donated by Paul Newman and the Newman's Own Foundation to thousands of charities worldwide. Particularly close to his heart were the Hole in the Wall Camps, now the leading global family of camps for children with life-threatening illnesses, which Paul started over 20 years ago.

Today, Newman’s Own is a thriving company with hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. As always, all profits are donated to charity through Newman's Own Foundation.

This stuff tastes so good, you will not beleive you are eating something that can be good for you. I get to have a sweet, chocolate treat and I am being healthy at the same time.

So to start us off, today eyeeco.com made me happy. They made a very generous donation to my Lupus Walk page! It was unexpected and made me smile.

They have also generously offered to give the butyoudontlooksick.com readers a special coupon to receive 10% off when buying one of the masks. Just use the coupon code LUPA.

Gotta love a company that has a good product, gives a discount to loyal customers, and then gives back by donating to a great cause.

Thank you Suzanne! I really appreciate your generous donation and we look forward to working with you guys in the future!

We asked our message board members to post pictures and the only guidance given was "5 years of spoonies". All the entries were wonderful! (I will feature all of them here this week, but we had to start with LindaK - our winner!) I was SO impressed with the creativity, and passion in each of the photos. Thank you to all the participants!

"I thought really hard about what the website is and what it means to the members here. So, of course - I used the 5 spoons. Then I thought about meds and the negative issues we have about them - so many of them, the side effects, the looks people give us when we have to ask for them, or when they find out how many we take. So, me being me and being little Miss Postive - I used the pills to create rays of sunshine coming from the spoons. So, just as the sun is the center of our world and the give us warmth and hope, the spoons are our center and the rays of pills reach out so that we can touch all that belong."

For so long, people told me not even try, or that I wasn't ideal..healthwise. or...worse... that she might not be what we expected or wanted...healthwise....

But That is the thing. I DO NOT make decisions in my heart based on science, I base them on prayer and love and trust. God gave me a perfect little girl, who comes with a warm loving family, that we will all raise together. Mybaby girl could not get any cuter, or smarter, or healthier.... or any more mine. I love her, more then I ever though I could.

There are so many little things that I wish I could do.

I was just interviewed for a fibro organization in the United Kingdom called fibroaction.org. I thought you might find it interesting.

My Family has been walking for 13 years in the walk along for Lupus on Long Island. Last year my team rose close to $10,000... I know I am starting a tad early....but we want to beat that this year and make this our best year yet! This year we were honored at the Lupus Gala for our volunteer work with this wonderful organization.

I can not thank all of you enough for supporting me and my passion to raise funds and awareness for this disease. I have amazing friends, family, and butyoudontlooksick.com buddies who always are there for me. I am so blessed. I have a wonderful husband, and an angel baby daughter Olivia. I thank the Lupus Alliance for all their support throughout the years, but especially with my pregnancy last year. The work of the Lupus Alliance is so important. I am so grateful to them, and this is my way of "giving back".

Please donate what you can, no donation is too small...(or too large :) Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. Feel free to join our team and raise funds yourself.

**********If you can not donate- please help by passing this email/ link along to anyone you think may be interested.

Thank you,

With Love,

Christine, Frank and Olivia Emma

Annie was diagnosed with lupus when she was 17. After she was diagnosed, Annie feared that no one would ever be able to love her completely for who she was as a person. Yet it was her chronic disease that gave Annie an inner strength and drive to succeed, all qualities that to this day Tom constantly admires about her.
