Thankful

We are thankful for many things this Thanksgiving, especially Georgia's event-free appointment on Monday - Dr. Neff actually said all of her counts were "NORMAL." We are thankful for normal.

We are also thankful for all of you and the love and support you have shown Georgia and our family for nearly three years. It's been a long road, and we have further to go still, but we know that you have helped us get this far. We are thankful for our Friends of Georgia.

Here is a beautiful letter of thanks written by my Momma friend, Audra, that says it all perfectly. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and know that we'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

Give thanks. Walk.

Today, supporters in 90 communities across the country are walking to give thanks and raise funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Even if you can't participate in a walk, donations are greatly appreciated! And as always, we encourage all Friends of Georgia to take part in the St. Jude Thanks and Giving holiday campaign by shopping with one of their partners in support of childhood cancer research. Make saving children's lives part of your holiday tradition, and "give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not.” Thank you!

Comedy GOLD

Do you love to laugh? Do you want to help kids with cancer? Then have I got an event for you! Comedy GOLD is a night of improv and stand-up comedy with some of Austin's funniest people, and proceeds will benefit the 46 Mommas campaign in support of the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Tickets are $20 online and $25 at the door - and space is limited! There's nothing funny about what kids in treatment go through, but we want to laugh in the face of cancer as we raise funds to CONQUER it. So we're bringing the GOLD to raise the GREEN for childhood cancer research, and we'd love for you to join us!

Perspective

On Election Day, 46 kids in the U.S. were diagnosed with cancer. 46 more will be diagnosed today. And tomorrow. And every weekday until we ACT. Watch and share this video from the 2012 46 Mommas Shave for the Brave in Los Angeles. Help us reach our goal of raising $1 million for childhood cancer research through the St. Baldrick's Foundation. Please lend your voice and be an ally because kids can't fight this battle alone. Special love and thanks to Max's Love Project for the video, featuring Momma fedoras available at MaxLove, with proceeds benefiting the 46 Mommas. And make sure to look for our girl in three pictures - pink dress, obstetrician Halloween costume, and close-up at the end. You might even see me lose my mohawk!

Happy (Belated) Halloween!
