Finally…..a venue and a date.

Since the beginning of our journey with Jax’s illness, we knew that we were hand picked by God to go through all of this craziness. Not always the easiest thing to swallow but it’s just the truth. For the last 6 months or so we knew that one of the reasons God called our family to experience all of this is because we are not just a sit there and deal with it kind of family. We take action. So I am proud to announce that we have finally got a venue and a date for a fundraiser to raise money for funds to help research histiocytosis. Because of this being an “orphan” disease, there is no government funding for research so it’s really up to those seeking a cure to raise money. The fundraiser will be held on Oct. 8, 2011 at Paulding Meadows Park from 1:00-5:00 in the afternoon. It is going to be a fall festival type of event with bounce houses, face painting, and lots of give-aways. We will be asking for a donation of $25 a family and you will receive lots of coupons and gift certificates with your donation. If you are a business owner and would like to donate your services, please let me know. We would greatly appreciate it!!!! Foust Landscaping will be giving away free lawn care. SugarSnapPhotography will be giving gift certificates. And lots of area restaurants will also be giving out coupons. I have friends and family that are going to be doing face painting. I am looking into having a petting zoo. And LOTS more!!!! So please, mark your calendars for this event and we hope to see you there!! We are praying that this will also be Jax’s end of chemo party.
I told you he was gonna be the cutest port-wearing beach bum ever!!!

I just wanted to let you know that I will be telling everyone that I know about this special event for little Jax so that everyone will have plenty of time to clear their calenders. We love you and your family and we have had Jax in our prayers for quite awhile now.

Thank you so much for spreading the word. The more awareness this terrible disease gets, the quicker we can find a cure. We appreciate your prayers and support.
