Since today is the 23 rd of May and May is Brain Tumor awareness Month, I  hoped everyone could donate $23.00 for pediatric brain tumor research in Alec's name,  (or whatever you can afford). This picture  is from when Alec was chosen by his Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, and Nurses at the Jimmy Fund to be an ambassador to raise funds for Pediatric Brain Tumor Research, and it was hung in Stop and Shop. ( Stop and Shop is a huge supporter and has given and raised so much money to  fund research).  Alec had a blast at his photo shoot , he had the photographers  juggling for him and he brought such joy to them.  Through Stop and Shop, we were also invited to attend a luncheon at Fenway and a Red Sox game, Alec was not interested so he lounged on the comfy chairs in the box with Me and Keith taking turns hanging with him and watching the game with Cassidy.  We didn't know this prior, but we would get to be with Christine ,(Alec's very special and amazing Nurse Practitioner) and her husband ,
and Dr. Kieran (Alec's very special and  amazing Doctor) and his wife and 3 kids.  I was so shocked, you mean this amazing Dr. who is always at the clinic and hospital and traveling all over the world fighting for Alec and all these beautiful children has a family. It was so touching to me, the sacrifice he makes everyday with his own family to help ours.   I went over to  Dr. Kieran's wife to say thank you with all of my heart for the sacrifice she makes,  and their children make with  her husband and with their father. I just had to do this. We did not know he had a family at home, it was a very humbling and touching experience. So if you can support the work he does, his passion to help these beautiful children, we would truly appreciate it.

  I have been thinking that there is a Green Ribbon with Alec's name on it for raising awareness and funding for Pediatric Brain Tumors. 
(The grey ribbon is for brain tumor awareness).

Here is a pic of  Dr. Kieran and Alec , and a pic of Cassidy and Alec and Funshine Bear at the Red Sox game.

Donations can be made to:
Pediatric Brain Tumor Clinical and Research Fund
c/o Dr. Kieran

I will Very proudly send my $23 check today in honor of Alec. I think this is a great idea Laura! I am so glad that there is Brilliant, generous and giving drs and staff to help the many families who are in need.... But what all of us probably don't realize is They have their "support" system at home and beyond! thanks to all of those people too!

There is nothing that would make me happier then to honor Alec by sending in a donation. I also agree the families of the drs and nurses cannot be thanked enough for all they do.

Laura,

What a wonderful idea! The kids are already pooling their money together! I love the pictures, and funny thing is... I'm heading to a tour of Fenway tomorrow for a field trip! I'll be thinking of Alec while I'm there.

Love,
Holly

I have been reading your blog each day and I thought of you all today when I realized it was the "23rd". Just reading about the signifigance of this number and the signs it brings to your family really resignated with me (because I do it myself with the #27~ my mom's bday). So I know how strongly those types of signs can make an impact on your days. And because it was the 23rd, I knew I had to log on today to read and I am glad I did. I too will be sending a donation in honor of Alec.

I know I told you this story, but it certainly bears repeating, when the posters were hung in stop &shop I was shopping with the kids in the Hudson stop&shop and the girls said look mommy that looks like Alec, and being busy bring to get thru the store with little ones quickly I said yeah it kind of does (not even thinking it was alec cause I was shopping in another State) Then I looked closer and and saw from Billerica Ma. and I said girls your right that is Alec! Totally surprised because I never new about the shoot!
