At Logan's school this week they started a fundraiser called Pennies for Patients with the proceeds going to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. His teacher, Mrs. Nicholson, put together a wonderful slide show about Logan's battle with cancer to make the cause real for the kids and asked me to stop by and speak about his journey. It was such a moving slide show that I wanted to share it with the rest of you.
Unfortunately, I've had some problems figuring out how to get this big, 4 minute long slide show on the blog for you all to view so I had to end up just doing a small part. Mrs. Nicholson graciously made me a copy of the whole slide show so I can make copies and send it to those of you interested. However, here is a sneak peak of the master piece... try not to cry, grandma. : )(Even Eric couldn't make it through with dry eyes).
I can empathize with Logan about the length of the work week. I had to work all 5 days this week also. BUMMER!
ReplyDeleteLove to all. Mom
Great news on making it a full week!! Definitely exhausting!! And, OMG - I couldn't make it through the video without tears...and it's the short version!! That's pretty neat of his teacher to do. May 2010 be a year of healing for all of you...especially Logan!
ReplyDeleteHere's my reservation for the LONG version. Everyone knows that shedding tears is the same as shedding pounds. I figure that I'm well on my way to looking like America's Next Top Model!
ReplyDeleteAND - it's sure to bring in the pennies too!
Logan - sorry about the five days. I too understand how you feel.
Diane I usually upload my longer videos to youtube.com. It works better. That was so sweet of Logan's teacher and hope he is having fun this weekend after a long week!
ReplyDeleteDid you tell Logan how many more "week stretches" he has LEFT in school? That'll be sure to bum him out even more! :) The video was great, if you have a chance, you can email me the entire version, I'd like to watch it.
ReplyDeleteMonday is the "we're halfway through day". We have come to school 88 days and we have 88 days left. 17.6 weeks.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the whole version too. Easton's school did the penny drive earlier in the school year. I'm glad you enjoyed your 5 hours to yourself!
