Saturday started off with a bang, because when I went to get my mail, I got an envelope all the way from Atlanta Georgia with Derrick's friend Lauren and her coworkers purchasing 12 more chemo ducks! From there I knew it was going to be a great day! The benefit turned out amazing. Thanks to everyone's support, donations, and help organizing the Fight on Foundation and Kelsey's Dream raised $2,000 for the chemo ducks!!! This means Delaware is covered and we are on to West Virginia! thanks to everyone there will be so many children with smiles on their faces! I know Derrick was smiling down on all of us too! The benefit was a lot of fun and a great reunion with family and friends of Derrick. It was filled with good food, music, and drinks! I will update more when I have the exact totals but I wanted to give a quick update. I can't thank everyone enough once again. Cancer does not discriminate who it affects. It affects so many people and families. Even though we can't help everyone, to know we can help even a few, help someone smile, help someone relax and not stress about paying medical expenses it makes it all worth it. I know the happiness that everyone's support gave to Derrick and I and the entire Dull family and I can't wait to help make someone else's day a little better. Keep an eye out for the website coming soon! There are still plenty of shirts, hoodies, and wristbands left!
- We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
