STILL COLLECTING MONEY!!!

 
 
I have never been on TV before and I hope that it will help me complete my NEW goal...WHICH IS NOW $5,000.00 by my next bithday on October 11, 2013!
 
 
My brother, my mom and I went door to door to collect money for the kids.
It was fun that it was pouring RAIN! I felt bad for the reporter and camera man though!


My Trip to Children's on November 1, 2012

 

 Me in front of Children's Hospital on November 1, 2012, with my handmade check before I went in to give them the donation.
 
 My parent's, Jamie and Jay were really excited to share this experience with me and my brother's Jaxon and Morgan got to come with me too. My sisters had to stay at home and go to school.
 
 

Helen and me looking through the cards that I made for the kids.

 
 I gave Helen, the volunteer coordinator, the big check of $2,708.50. She was really blown away that a young girl like me would give up my birthday for kids that have cancer.
My mom and me after I gave my donation.
 




I couldn't believe how big the hospital was.  I enjoyed learning about how it started.  It was bright and colorful and they had a lot of fun animals throughout the entire place.
My favorite was the ZEBRA! I love Zebra print!
They had a train that went around the top of the wall.
 It doesn't run anymore though.
My 2nd grade teacher and my mom's friend, Anne came with us.  She use to volunteer at Children's when she was in college at U of W.
This is Miss Anne putting my Star on me that I got to make in the Child Life Play Room.
This is me in the elevator. They had fun colored pictures painted on the walls.
 

Me walking through the hospital on our way home thinking back on the day that I had. I realized that
the kids in the hospital do not focus on having cancer. It is their normal to have to go and get treatments. I am sure that they have a peace because they know that some day they will get better and be able to explore the world like I get to. It made me realize again how lucky I am and blessed to have the life that I have!
