I’ll save all the fabulous details for a moment when I’m not so darn tired, but suffice it to say that we raised over $30,000 today at an event that was, well, really wonderful. As I tucked my beautiful bald boys into bed tonight and told them, yet again, how proud I was of them, […]
Twenty-four (or should I say twenty-three?) hours from now and I’ll be sitting back and counting up the dough. (Heck of a weekend to lose an hour, huh?) But right now, it’s time for that last final push. After raising our event goal by tiny little amounts, from $10,000 to $15K to $18K and then […]
I just keep raising that goal and we just keep meeting it. We’ve now raised over $23,500 and are well on our way to exceeding our $25,000 event goal. Not only are we doing well, but St. Baldrick’s events across the country are breaking all previous fundraising records. Every time another million dollars is raised, […]
Of course, our excursion on Wednesday would not have been complete without some media attention. Here’s a link to video coverage on the Lima news. Interestingly, when I said I’d never heard of Bluffton before, I was wrong. I have and I think many of you have as well. Five years ago, on March 2, […]
First of all, thank you for the many birthday wishes yesterday. I had a lovely day with my family, including lunch and a little shopping with my favorite partner in crime (my mom) sandwiched between breakfast with homemade gifts from my sweet boys and I’m-not-cooking-tonight Marotta’s delivered by my handsome husband for dinner. And now […]
There are so many reasons we love St. Baldrick’s. Of course, the very necessary research they fund is the main one. But these events and the shavees give us so much more than that. Here are some of the gifts, large and small, we’ve received from our involvement with St. Baldrick’s this year. There are […]
We are well on our way. The twenty-nine brave shavees registered for the Cleveland Heights St. Baldrick’s event have raised more then ten thousand dollars. And we are well on our way to reaching our event goal of $15,000. Of course, if every shavee actually met their own individual goal as stated on their page, […]
I just got my event planning package in the mail from St Baldrick’s today for my March head-shaving event for children. I eagerly opened the box and found my three beautiful boys looking back at me, several hundred times over. I received fifty posters and 1,500 pocket brochures, every one of them featuring this image: […]
Today’s results were all good. Well, not exactly all good (keep reading), but good in the ways that matter most. His kidney function is holding steady, which is fabulous. His CT and ultrasound show no change to his lungs, kidney or liver … also fabulous. There is no indication of any cancer anywhere inside his […]
Sometimes it’s hard to get back into that old mindset … that old cancer mindset. I had two other, completely disease-free topics I was going to write about today, and then I doubled checked my calendar and was reminded that Austin has his 20-month scans tomorrow. Twenty months. Now that’s a significant chunk of time […]
