Lifesaving Nitric Oxide Fund To Reduce Pulmonary Hypertension In addition to being a by-product of cigarette smoke and rush hour traffic, nitric oxide is used in pediatric intensive care. The inner lining of blood vessels uses nitric oxide to signal the surrounding smooth muscle to relax, thereby increasing blood flow. By dilating the veins there is less blood returned to the heart, thereby decreasing the heart's work. We've been using this frequently after surgery with our kids and it has been critical to our lifesaving work. Please give today to ensure that these surgeries are not in vain - that we are able to deal with both the cause and the effects of congenital heart disease in these dear Iraqi children.

Life-Saving Kurdish Shoes Now Available from the Relevant Media Group Online

September 17, 2007 by Jeremy 

There are few groups of people in the world whose work consistently wows us like that of the Relevant Media Group. We’ve been ardent readers of their online magazine for years. Our Accounting Department - defying all stereotypes about accountants - listened to the Relevant Podcast religiously until we moved to Iraq and became largely cut off from things like regular electricity and internet. I’ve enjoyed their print magazine a few times when I’ve gotten my hands on it. And a few books from their book publishing arm - such as Flashbang, Pocket Guide to the Apocalypse, and The Gutter - have been extremely enjoyable and beneficial reads.

All this to say, we were thrilled when we signed on the dotted line with the Relevant Store as a partner in our effort to save lives in Iraq by selling our one-of-a-kind fashionable shoes.

Head on over to their site to see the cool layout and say thanks. Leave a review while you’re there to let others know what you think about BSSl and klash. While your there, buy a book or download the podcast to learn more about the amazing Relevant Media Group.

Thanks, Matt Addington. You’re saving lives!
