You really need to go here. And read all the way through, then watch the videos, because that is the cool part. Well, no, the cool part is this family, period. Way to go, Eammon and Declan …. hope you raise tons of money! (although you sure won’t have to spend any of it on [...]
Sept. 28 is a good day to head to Chili’s and have a margarita, some fajitas and maybe even some molten chocolate cake. That’s because Chili’s restaurants across the U.S. will donate 100% of their Monday profits to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The date is also the culmination of Chili’s Create-A-Pepper to Fight Childhood [...]
We took part (and by “we”, I mean “Kellen”, and also mean “while I sat in the stands and watched him like the lazy soul that I am”) in a really great fundraiser effort today, held at a local high school. David Swanson, a local high school graduate and current cadet at West Point, decided [...]
Remember — Tomorrow is the final day for making a donation via Marey’s site to help two families this holiday season. All proceeds from her online raffle are going directly to Austin’s family and Ivan’s family, to help them through the difficult time of their respective transplants this holiday season.

Oh, sure, I know you think I mean the countdown to finishing your holiday shopping, or finding the perfect tree, or starting to bake cookies for your Christmas exchange, or getting your family photo taken, or writing your annual Christmas letter …. (note to self: MUST BEGIN letter this weekend!) But no, I’m talking about [...]
(Yeah, I wish ice cream had no calories and cured heart disease, but that’s another story.) I’m sorry it’s been so long between updates. I appear to have been stricken with a severe case of Jamaican Sleeping Sickness …. About 8:30 each night, I fall asleep on the sofa and dream I am on a [...]
There are many late term effects from chemo and radiation for which cancer-kids have to watch once treatment ends. Apparently, the most prevalent for Kendrie appears to be: extreme un-coordination. ** After tripping over her own feet at soccer practice tonight and poking herself in the eye, her coach thought she had gotten dirt in [...]
Sorry for the delay in updates; my mom has been here visiting and she and I have been very busy eating, running errands, eating, shopping, eating … did I mention eating?
