I’m breaking my Image of the Month rules again, this time the image isn’t even one I took! BUT it’s got a much more important purpose…
This sweet face belongs to Kelcy Orr, a dear friend of our family who was recently, at the tender age of three, diagnosed with kidney cancer. Kelcy’s big sister has been a friend of my oldest since they were both just tiny little toddlers, and I couldn’t imagine a sweeter, more loving family.. the whole situation is absolutely breaking my heart! Please help me in supporting her family.. as they say on the commercials for St. Jude’s, give thanks for the healthy kids in your life by helping those who are not!
What can you do? Join us on Sunday, March 28, at 8am for Kicks for Kelcy, a 5k race/1 mile family fun run fundraiser. We’re hoping to raise money for the family as well as raise their spirits by showing them just how many people are behind them, supporting them, every step of the way.
Click here to download a copy of the flyer, please fill out the form and mail it in (preregistration is VERY important, as we have to have an accurate headcount for our permits!) and please please, pass it on to everyone you know! We’re asking everyone in attendance to wear purple, Kelcy’s favorite color, to show a sea of unity as we walk. You can also buy a support shirt from the online store we set up, all proceeds going directly to the family as well.
And keep in touch! We have a facebook group set up to keep everyone connected with upcoming fundraisers and updates on sweet Kelcy’s progress… we are all praying for her, but she needs our actions too!
