Honored Hero… Day 419 06JAN10

A couple months back when Joshua was asked to be the Honored Hero for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s campaign “Man & Woman of the Year”, he was also asked to do the same for their “Pasta 4 Pennies” campaign. This is a truly wonderful fundraiser for the children in school. They raise money in support of LLS and Joshua is their spokesman for the schools in our area. We were asked to join the kick-off campaign party at Olive Garden today and we had a wonderful time. I was asked to speak about Joshua and our journey. I may have spoken a little longer than I should but I believe that I made an impact on everyone that attended. Joshua’s only wish is that enough money is raised so they can find a cure once and for all. Joshua is thrilled to be leading the pack this year and he is very excited about visiting his own school again. Maybe this year, his school can raise the most money!

Joshua had a great day today. He worked really hard on his schoolwork. He did a little exercising on the new Wii Fit Plus that daddy bought the family, and he had a great time supporting LLS. Tomorrow he has a visit from his teacher and then we are off to the Circus, The Greatest Show on Earth!

Hey Snuggle Monkey,

You are one busy Warrior! I hope your school gets busy and raises the most money - what a wonderful thing that would be.

And you're off to the Circus tomorrow. What fun that will be.

Glad to hear the routine has got a bit of excitement going and hope it continues.

Keep kickin butt Mighty Warrior.

Tons of Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Nonna
