This past week I was exceptionally busy with my family, that is why I didn't get the blog updated and for that I apologize. I am dedicating this weeks blog to my two daughters. Last year they decided they were going to join St. Baldrick's and raise money to help fight childhood cancer. My oldest daughter Cory (who is a NICU nurse at Good Sam) joined the St. Baldrick's team sponsored by Midwest University here in Downers Grove. Their venue was held at Ballydoyles last Monday and as of that night they raised over $20,000 dollars. It was an exciting evening. Cory and so many others shaved their heads in support of those who lose their hair to cancer. Cory was the top fundraiser for the event and was the first up to shave her head. Sam, my youngest daughter (a Freshman at Downers Grove South )is shaving her head this Friday during a pep assembly. The DGS venue has raise over $33,000.00 dollars. My girls together raised over $2600.00 dollars for the foundation. Our family knows first hand how devastating Cancer is and I am so proud of them for taking part in this fundraising event.
We shared in Cory's head shaving last week and we anxiously await Sam's turn on Friday. I am posting a before picture of the two of them, but will post an after picture when Sam has her head shaved. Thank you for letting me share a little bit of Cherney news with you all. I have such a wonderful family and I know you will all agree how blessed we are to have such happy, healthy children.
