Well I never heard from the people that looked at the house. I think I may have more people looking tomorrow. So we will hopefully get it rented. So pray that all works out for us.
Well today I filled the pool up again, and we had some friends come over and play with us. They had such a great time. I was glad Hailee had some friends to play with. I registered for my Light the Night walk yesterday, and there was no team captain for our team so the Leukemia Lymphoma Society called and asked if I would do it, so I am going to throw myself into that. I am going to try to get MOMS club to affiliate with me and we can start fundraising for it. Hopefully we can help Friends of Heroes meet their goal this year of $160,00 this year. Here is a little info for those of you that would like it.
Team Friends of Heroes is the largest national
Friends and Family Light The Night team in The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's history. Since
its inception, Friends of Heroes
has grown dramatically in both
size and focus.
The team not only retains a core
group of Friends of Heroes walkers,
but also welcomes affiliate
teams across the country. Friends
of Heroes and affiliates actively
fundraise for The Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society, with a passion
and focus towards eradicating
pediatric blood cancers.
The team strives to incorporate honored children
at each walk site - local children who are
either currently undergoing treatment or in remission
from blood cancer.
Friends of Heroes was originally created to honor
Allie Scott, an 8-month-old baby who passed away
from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in September
2004. In 2007, the team changed
its name from Friends of Allie to
Friends of Heroes to better identify
the group and align it with its
mission to put a face on childhood
cancer.
In recognition of the achievement
of raising $100,000 or more for
the 2007 Light The Night Walk,
Friends of Heroes will have the
opportunity to select a pediatric focused
research grant bestowed by
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and be
named in the team’s honor. Friends of Heroes is
working to surpass $156,000 in 2007, bringing the
team's overall total to $1 million raised!

"I [hope] that through
Allie, people are seeing
the need for awareness
about these types of
diseases. Funding for
research is critical.
That is why events like
Light The Night® are so
important. Not only do
they give us a chance
to honor our loved
ones, they also help
raise money for cures."

Mother of Allie Scott
