Ready for Action

And we're going to give you "30 ways in 30 days" that you can do SOMETHING 

to raise awareness, hope, and funds for these kids. Let's do this, Friends of Georgia!

Unstoppable

Today's celebrations: Four months off treatment! Cleared by the surgeon!

An invitation to the National Junior Honor Society!

Can anyone keep up with this girl?!

If you think you can, we'd love for you to join us one month from today for the Austin CureSearch Walk! You can register with our family team, The Peachy Keens, or with our school team, Ann Richards Stars, OR donate to Georgia's page. Childhood Cancer Awareness Month starts on Saturday, and this walk would be a great way to close out the month, and celebrate Georgia's fifth month off treatment(!), on SEPTEMBER 29TH! Hope to see you there!

Back to School(s)

This morning, Georgia marched into Ann Richards, ready to TCB in 7th grade, while Ivy floated into 3rd grade at Parkside aboard a rainbow unicorn. We love our schools!

It's gonna be a GREAT year!

Camp Closing

I don't know about y'all, but we're still trying to come down off the giant wave of positive energy caused by Georgia's amazing speech to the city council. We've heard from so many of you and are thrilled that she inspired you. Go ahead - watch it again, share it, think about it, and then, do SOMETHING. And if you need help deciding what to do, let us know!

Now how 'bout we finish our re-cap of Georgia's triumphant return to Camp Mystic! A lot has happened since we picked her up a week ago, but a lot happened while she was there, too, having another great term. Not only did she breeze through the two weeks with little to no health issues, she was named Best Camper in her cabin and Honor Kiowa for her tribe. She also got two blue ribbons for her Arts and Crafts projects and conquered the arduous hike to Sky High - the highest point at camp and a spot that was well beyond her reach last year. She continues to show us everyday - in mind, body, and spirit - that she is returning to her whole health, and this latest camp experience is further proof of that.

A few favorite shots to tell the tale:

School starts on Monday! Have a great week, y'all!

For Immediate Release

From the Press Office for Georgia Lee Moore, Peachy Keens HQ, Austin, Texas: Today, Miss Moore accepted a proclamation from Mayor Pro Tem Sheryl Cole, who proclaimed September 2012 as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in Austin.
