It is the 23rd of May, Brain Tumor awareness month. I happened to be in Stop & Shop the other day and realized it was that time when they have The triple Winner program, selling $1.00 scratch tickets with 100% of that dollar going directly to Pediatric Brain Tumor Research program at The Jimmy Fund. They hang up pictures of the selected kids from The Jimmy Fund in the store.
This picture is of Alec when he was one of the kids chosen. I had to pause and look at these kids pictures with a heavy heart for so many reasons, for missing Alec , for not knowing these kids future and for knowing what they are going through now.
While I would have liked to get my walk-a-thon idea to happen this May, it is just not going to happen. But we do plan on planning it so it happens next May which will give us time to do it right. I am getting ideas from others and offers for help and I am so grateful to you all for your willingness to help. It is hard to plan something while my heart is so broken yet it is in doing things for Alec that give us comfort and help us feel so close to him.
If anyone would like to make a donation to The Pediatric Brain Tumor Research fund the info is below and if you would like to make a donation to go toward a family with a child fighting a Brain Tumor you can let me know and I can help you with that.
Cassidy has a container that she decorated to collected donations and we put our change in it. I wanted to send in our donation for May and counted out our change and Keith brought in the change from his car and that is what we will send in.
