Facebook

I finally joined the bandwagon and signed up for facebook.  By doing so, Sarah was then able to give me access to the Helping Hands 4 Morgan facebook account which I can now help her out with.  I probably won't be doing much with my own personal page, I mainly just wanted to be able to keep more up to date with everyone on the HH4M site and the St. Jude Facebook page.  I will definitely keep using my blog as my main source of updates but at least now when I post something on my blog I can directly update the facebook page as well with a link (I think/hope?).  I am learning as I go so please forgive me if I mess anything up! 

We also found out that over $280,000 was raised for St. Jude at the fundraiser we attended last week!!  You can visit their St. Jude NY & NJ Facebook page to view photos from the event: http://on.fb.me/YwEmER

Gold Coast Cares for St. Jude Fundraiser

Morgan and Christian
Christian is a patient at St. Jude with an Anaplastic Ependymoma (a type of brain tumor)

Our 2 beautiful princesses!
What a GREAT event!!  We had such a wonderful time, Oheka Castle was gorgeous!  We met another St. Jude family that couldn't have been nicer and as you can see Morgan made a new little friend.  As always, the whole staff at ALSAC was awesome and went out of their way to make us feel so comfortable.  They had some pretty spectacular donations made for both a silent and live auction as well.  This was actually the first time they held this particular fundraiser but I believe they are looking to make it an annual event.  Thanks to some very generous donors, it was a very successful evening and it was pretty spectacular to be a part of it!

A big thanks to everyone at ALSAC for all the wonderful work you do for St. Jude!!!!!!!! 

St. Jude had a professional photographer so I'll post some more pics of the event as soon as I can.
