Children's Miracle 26-28 March

Dear friends,

With Harry responding so clearly and strongly to his treatments, we all had a lot to celebrate this weekend.

Many of you have asked how you might support Harry's journey of healing, so we wanted to let you know about the Annual Children's Hospital Children's Miracle Radio-thon, which begins this Wednesday 26 March and runs until Friday 28 March. The event is hosted by two Winnipeg radio stations, Hot 103 (which is, much to her Daddy's chagrin, Lydia's favourite station) and QX104 , who use the three days to raise money for the Children's Hospital here in Winnipeg. In 2007, the Children's Miracle Radio-thon raised over $600,000, all of which went
toward purchasing pediatric equipment, and funding hospital programs and medical research.

Cynthia and Henry would be deeply grateful if you would consider supporting the 2008 Children's Miracle Radio-thon in Harry's name. "From the moment we walked into Winnipeg's Children's Hospital," they write, "we've been treated with utmost kindness, respect, and professionalism. The doctors and nurses and all of the hospital staff here are amazing!"

If you would like to do so, you can call in a pledge to the RBC Miracle Lines at (204) 953-KIDS (5437).

Thank you so much for considering it,

Will do.

Plus, we're going to see the Pope on Wednesday (yes, the one in Rome). I've heard he has a direct line to the "Main" miracle network and he takes requests on Wednesdays. One cure coming up!

Love Jodi, Jason, Carson and Meredith

We will contribute whatever we can. Please let us know if there is anything else at all we can do to help out...
Missing you so much Cyn and know that our thoughts, prayers and love are with Harry, You, Henry, Lydia and your amazing support system.

Will do....And....Harry's smile is a symbol of the strength of the human spirit. I wish we all could live in the moment like kids (well, maybe not every moment; they do have their 'cave kid' moments too!). Despite discomfort and 'thinner blood', he finds joy. Go Harry go! Cheers to getting home for your first! You'll enjoy all the awesome toys and love at 'clinic', which is a misnomer; it is a most special place for families going through a healing process. If you think of it,could you pass on my love to Dawn? She's the child-life specialist who will take loving care of you and Harry. Siblings welcome (Owen used to cry when we couldn't take him to clinic...)!
