AMAZING!
Before we set foot in the hospital, we came across a man and his son who had been going to the hospital for 4 years because of his daughter's illness. On the way in, he passed a nurse who knew him by name and I heard him say they're back because his daughter had another seizure. So sad :(
I wish I had a video of the TV broadcast, but I don't think they share them. I did take a few pics, though!

Last year, the TV anchor Mark Curtis said if a pledge came in for $12,000 he'd shave off his life-long mustache. Lo and behold, a call came in, and he did it! They tried to do it again this year, but I don't think anyone called in with the full amount. Here's the volunteer's spoof of the mustache prank :)
I'm so glad I went to this event! It was nice to get away from my troubles and take time to give back to people who truly make difference. I'll definitely be going back next year! Maybe even before.
Total raised: $210,000!

That is AMAZING!
I used to work at a camp for terminally ill children and their siblings. What a sight--kids came running up the hill to the pool pushing their wheelchair bound buddies or pushing their own oxygen tanks. They'd play so hard, and then they'd crash at night--super sick from the exertion--but so happy with what they'd done.
AMAZING
Love the pics!
