kindness abounds

A very kind and touching gesture from my dear friend's Dad, who is going to be able to grow a mustache now because in one day he has already gotten to his goal of $100.00. He is very happy about that :)

A story…
I was a volunteer coach for a summer T-Ball league that my oldest, Kaiya, belong to during the summer. She quickly became friends with a little girl, Chloe, who was going to be in her Kindergarten class for this upcoming school year. Chloe seemed like any other 5 year old little girl. Loved to talk, ignore the coaches, and tell jokes that only another child would truly find funny. Towards the end of the T-Ball season we were shocked to find out that Chloe was suffering from Leukemia. Chloe would go on to miss practices and games because of her cancer treatment – chemotherapy. Chloe did get well enough to start school on time and my daughter and Chloe continue to be the best of pals.
I am asking for anyone who enjoys seeing me make a fool out of myself to please make a donation or pledge a donation to Face It, Fight It, Cure It. From what I have been told, one of the doctors that has been treating Chloe runs the foundation and its main purpose is to cure pediatric cancer. I bet if raise at least $100 my family would agree to my entry into the mustache contest and thus giving everyone a bit of enjoyment.
I will place a sign-up sheet in the kitchen for anyone who is interested in pledging a donation. Feel free to contact me for further information or visit the website to learn more about Face It, Fight It, Cure It or to  make a donation immediately.
Chloe and Kaiya
