Day 54 of 98 Days...from little acorns mighty oaks grow

This has been a giving week we hope with your help we continue to repeat.

We received incredibly generous individual donations this week ones that would take your breath away and you could never thank those individuals enough. There were even companies we are so grateful to who do not know me or Tressa our honoree but understand the urgency and importance of this campaign of funding research for a cure of blood cancer.

Today was then topped off when I received news that the students of the Hutson School collected $580.00 for our campaign, I was incredibly touched. Understand that these young students, K-12, are incredibly intelligent and driven to succeed, and yet face their own unique challenges with dyslexia or other specific language learning differences.  Their Student Council led the way with the fund-raiser so they worked to raise money for kids they don't know just that they are part of their generation and are affected with a life threatening blood cancer. Their extremely proud principal reached out to me today and told me the wonderful news.

Its people of all ages coming together for a common cause to fight against this devastating disease so we do not lose another loved one from blood cancer.  "From little acorns might oaks grow"...a very special person shared that with me tonight and told me that was a favorite saying from someone near and dear to our hearts our honoree Tressa.
