The Journey For My Daughter
This has been a wonderful experience for my children and my family! We did not raise what we wanted to raise for Alex's Lemonade but we did raise sonmething and my daughter is the proudest child in the world right now. Her Special Lemon party is tomorrow and we hope to get more Donations to send in at the party from all of her friends. She told everyone that she does not want gifts she is truly committed! And I am truly more proud then I can express. The joy inside me as I even write this entry is overwhelming and makes me want to cry. I wish we could have done more for such a wonderful charity. But there is always tomorrow and there is still time to donate! If you have anything a dollar is more then enough please realize you are not only making my daughters wish to help kids smile come true, You are helping fund research and pay for families to get medical treaments for their kids! With my daughter's help, with your help we may one day find a cure for childhood cancers which claim to many young lives each year. If we help one child with this funraising effort survive cancer we have succeeded! If we can help one family find peace at a trying time even just knowing that they dont have to worry about medical treatments for their child, we have succeeded. We we give the materials needed to one researcher trying to find a cure or treatment for childhood cancer, WE HAVE SUCCEEDED!
My little girl Has Succeeded in what she wanted to do. She didn't reach her goal this year, but she learned a valuable lesson she will carry with her the rest of her life. She learned that it is not what you recieve in life, materialistically, it is more the joy you recieve in helping others get the things they need! It is helping others and receiving the simplest of gifts and finding you can smile from it! the greatest lesson and gift she has gotten out of this experience is that the best thing to get for your birthday any year is someones thanks!
So my daughter wants to give all of you who have visited and donated or told your friends to visit or simply tried to help by RT on Twitter a gift right now. She wants to say Thank You for helping her wish come tru! She wants to thank you for helping her to achieve this dream and Thank You for taking this long journey with her.
Thank You so much to everyone for bringing a little bit of joy to my family! And Thank You all for giving me the overwhelming pride and joy that has filled my heart for the past month and a half!
Thank You you are all wonderful!
Love,
Branna, Richard, and Nichole still and always the prodest mother in the world!
