St. Jude Give Thanks Walk Update

I just wanted to let everyone know that I received an email from St. Jude informing us that the walk in Long Island has been cancelled!  :( 

"As our city and region recover from the devastating impact of Hurricane Sandy, our thoughts are with those who have experienced losses to their homes, businesses and local communities. We are saddened to tell you that we have made the difficult decision not to move forward with holding the 2012 St. Jude Give thanks. Walk. in Long Island, NY at the Bethpage Ballpark, as well as in a few other surrounding areas affected by this storm.

At St. Jude, we see strength, hope and resilience in the faces of our patients and families every day. We know these same qualities lie in our community and we look forward to coming back stronger than ever. Thank you for your continued support of St. Jude. You are truly making a difference in the lives of patients at St. Jude and in communities everywhere."

While we are extremely disappointed with this news, we completely understand and are beyond proud of our team for helping raise $6160.00 thus far for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!  Thank you to all of our Helping Hands 4 Morgan team members and all of our donors for supporting our family and this extraordinary hospital!!  Words cannot express just how much this has meant to us.

In lieu of the walk, they are having an open house hosted at the ALSAC/ St. Jude New York City office.  The Regional Event Specialist left me a message today asking if we would be interested in attending.  Adam and I would very much like to go and would be honored to represent our team!  So we will be heading to NYC Saturday morning and then leaving for St. Jude Sunday afternoon for yet another scan with Morgan.  We're hoping for some more positive news before the holidays!  We will keep you posted!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
