Saturdays Spagettie Dinner was really great! I got meet so many people! There were so many friends to say hi to! I loved meeting you all! I was a trooper and only had to take a small nap in the middle part.

I want to thank everyone for coming out, there are too many to name, but I wanted to thank all the young girls I met who are doing fundraising for me at their schools, and everyone who is holding me in their prayers. Most of all I want to thank The Knights of Columbus for putting it all ...

Riley Mitchell is a young man with the same (or very similar) issues as me. He just had a biopsie of his nevus and they found melanocytic changes. Meaning they may need to start Chemotherapy. He's 7 years old. My dad cannot stop crying and hoping for Riley to be ok. But this is what we have to deal with. There is no set way for things to work out.

Appleumpkin!

Wow! I got to meet so many people and everyone was so kind! I can't thank all of you who stopped by my booth, or donated in some way, enough. We are just blown away by the support and generousity of this community! I hope I was able to give you one of my famous smiles, if not let me know, I have lots more ready to give! Thank you everyone!

On Thursday the 9th, our local newspaper is doing a spotlight or special interest spot on Madeleine. The Tecumseh Herald has a circulation of 5,000 customers, plus sold at all the local restaurants etc. And I believe it will also be posted on their website.

(Aaron, Madeleine's father, here) A huge thank you to everyone who has donated and given Madeleine their energy and thoughts. I am trying to keep up with a database I have set up, keeping track of everyone's contact info and donation amounts, and other contributions, like time and energy. The response has been breathtaking, to say the least, close to overwhelming, and we can only hope it continues. Everytime we check her email, or recieve a check in the snail-mail, we are just, I don't know what to say, I guess, just blown away.

We will be ...

The website is up and running. Hope it finds everyone well.

Matt
