Newsflash....

Hello! Just wanted to drop by with some more updates. I met with the Tina and her daughter Kylie from Kelsey's Dream today. Thanks to more generous donations we are taking on the Tomorrow's Children's Institute in Hackensack, NJ with chemo ducks in honor of Derrick Dull and little Hudson Rinker!!!! I still have more ducks left, so I will be looking into another hospital in NJ as well. Tina also mentioned that Kelsey's Dream is collecting blankets for Camp Dost which is a camp for children with cancer and their siblings. Each year Kelsey's Dream provides blankets for these children. Derrick's grandmother and great aunt made a beautiful blanket already, which Tina loved! ( Thanks MA MA). Let me know if anyone is interested in helping make a blanket or two, I know some of you really enjoy doing this as a hobby. Here is some information about Camp Dost

In other news, I found out today that yet another person from my bone marow drive in May got called to be a bone marrow donor ( that brings us up to 5 so far!) so I was really excited to hear about this! Also if anyone didn't have a chance to attend the marathon benefit and would still like to donate you can check out my fundraising page at http://pages.teamintraining.org/cpa/rnr09/mdull I just mailed in the money from the benefit, so that won't be posted on the website for a week or so. I am up to 15 miles now, and I am doing my first half marathon this weekend. Also, check out the Ephrata review tomorrow, there is suppossed to be an article about Derrick in this week's edition or next week! Hope everyone is having a great week, and I can't thank everyone enough for their generosity!!!!!
