It is a lenghty story but well worth the read.
You can make a difference.
I have the priviledge to participate in a fabulous cause - Cards For A Cure and YOU can too.
The proceeds from this fundraising event will go to Pediatric Cancer Research.
I am a member of the "Simply Stars" team head by our energetic, ambitious, extremely talented, and compassionate Heather Summers.
I could not say this any better than Heather so I am lifting it completely from her blog.
A Very Special Boy and a Very Special Fundraiser
"(This is a bit of a mushy post) Stampin' Up! has done so many wonderful things for me and my family over the past five years. It is an absolutely amazing company to work with, that carries beautiful product but more importantly has such caring people associated with it. I wrote to Stampin' Up! explaining that I am going to be hosting a fundrasier for Pediatric Cancer and would they be willing to support my venture with a small donation. Well, to my surpise I received a box today with hundreds of dollars of product to raffle off at our next event! How amazing is that???
Part of why I love Stampin' Up! is because it enables me to work with a group of friends in my team to raise money for so many wonderful causes. This one is particularly close to my heart.
About three years ago, I heard about an amazing little boy named Cole Petrie. He was a JK student at a local school and had been diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma in September of 2005 (4 days before he was to start school!) He was presented with a nerf football sized tumour near his right adrenal gland that had metastasized to his bone marrow being 98% packed with cancer. Cole has endured many tests, procedures and treatments in the over two years since as well as being hospitalized 170 nights in the first 1-½ years due to treatments, complications and infections. He has also been in the outpatient clinic for appointments, bloodwork, tests and transfusions about 120 times so far.
Currently, Cole is at home and they are blessed with Cole’s good health while cautiously optimistic about his future. Unfortunately, a very high number of Stage IV Neuroblastoma patients relapse within 1-2 years and at this point in time that is considered having virtually no cure. Cole continues to be the sweetest, most loving boy yet with a spunky determined nature and a beautiful smile that can light up a room."
With the help of my downline (Simply Stars), friends and family my next fundraiser event will be for Pediatric Cancer. I would like to make a difference not only for Cole, but also all the boys and girls that teach us about strength, reality and perspective.
If you would like to learn more about Cole, please visit his site HERE.
Here are the details for the fundraiser:
