A balloon for Matty Dubuc and a call for action.

We released a spongebob balloon in honor of Matty this morning. It stopped raining just long enough to open up this beautiful sky for us to send our message to angel Matty.

Johnny helped me get the balloon ready.

Here is Johnny watching it fly into the sky.

Here is a way you can help too!

There is a bill in both houses called the Conquer Childhood Cancer Act of 2007 (H.R. 1553 and S. 911). More than 12,500 children will be diagnosed with cancer this year and more than 2,000 will die. These bills will authorize $30 million dollars every year for 5 years for biomedical research in pediatric cancer. Please take a few minutes and write to your senators and representative. Go to http://capwiz.com/curesearch/home and click in the Action Alert box. Enter your zip code and a form comes up, already addressed to your senators, with a letter already written that you can customize if you desire, then click on send. It's as easy as that.

Check out one of my new links - heros for children - It is a blog for an organization that helps families of children with cancer. Brandon is the baby on the top of the front page.
