So....yesterday I did the Tom Glavine charity golf event. I really had so much fun. Not everyone there was a celebrity. Just a bunch of people getting together to support a good cause.
All proceeds benefited the CURE. This is an organization based in Atlanta and they are working for children with childhood cancer. Please check out their website.
This group is truly amazing. I was able to enjoy the speeches given by a few of the parents who had actually lost their child to this battle but still, they are determined to help find a cure. If I understood them correctly, the cure rate has risen quite dramtically. What was once in the 20% percentile is now at a 78% survival rate. Those numbers offer a lot of hope...however...I would not want to be the mommy of the losing 22% and this is why they continue to work so hard to raise money for research and raise our awareness for public support.
It was a very good day. Lots of wonderful, friendly people and it felt so good to be able to use HIS gift for HIS glory. The pictures I did yesterday were my least favorite that I have ever done just in terms of not being able to be fun or creative-it was simply one group shot after another but they are probably by far the most important, selfless photos that I have ever done and that makes my long day yesterday worth every minute of it.
Thank you so much Elesha for getting me involved with this group. I hope to be able to offer my time, talent and heartstrings again next year.
