THANKS TO EVERYONE

I would like to say thank you to everyone who attended, donated, or organized the benefit on Sunday June 28th at the Blue Ridge Club. We had a great day in more ways than one. The weather could not have been better. The food was great and the bands where awesome and the whole thing ran so smooth you would have thought it was put on by professionals. The truth is the whole thing was organized by the GREATEST people in the world. I was over whelmed by the number of friends that turned out . I am truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my families life.
As many of you know on our first trip to Barnes in St. Louis we had been told that we would need a minimum of twenty five thousand dollars after the transplant to relocate and live with in a few minutes of the hospital for at least three months. And that figure did not include any co-pays or meds not covered by insurance. That is what sparked the idea of some great friends of ours to hold a fundraiser.
And I am thrilled to announce that the goal was not only met but surpassed! This is huge load off of Marleen and myself.
And remember it is not if I get better it is WHEN we will celebrate again.
Next time its on me!

AGAIN THANK YOU TO ALL
