Kelly's Team Update

Things have been busy lately. I have been working with a Japanese television crew. They are creating a documentary about Lance and Kelly's friendship. They have been filming memorabilia and talking to me about how Kelly and Lance met and how their friendship developed. It should be aired in Japan some time in the fall of this year. I will post a copy on the web page, but I think I will be talking Japanese. That ought to a funny.

Planning for the upcoming prom is going well. We have had approximately 35 dresses donated so far. They kids and volunteers are going to have a great time.

I was really surprised how great the Austin city buses turned out. Some of the children who contributed art to the project are no longer with us. I hope that eventually their parents will be able to see the buses as the great gift that they are. I hope everyone will say a little prayer for these families during their difficult times.

Happy Friday all,

Today the Woody Pet Therapy Dogs came to the hospital. We had 2 huge great danes and one big yellow fuzzy dog. I'm not sure what kind of dog he was, but the kids loved him. It's always a good day when the dogs come. Children come running from all around just to pet them and take a picture.

This afternoon some NFL football players are coming to visit. Roy Williams, Michael Huff, BJ Johnson, and many more will be here to take pictures with the kids and sign autographs.

Have a great weekend.

Hi all,

I haven't' posted in a while. We have been busy planning a prom for teenagers with cancer. It will be May 10, 2008 at Dell Children's Medical Center. Our theme is "Dancing Among the Stars". Austin Java has graciously offered to provide the meal for the evening. We hope to have a red carpet event that the kids will enjoy.

I have been working on updating our guidebook. We have started using the national Curesearch family handbook. It is a long process, but very worthwhile. Now no matter where are families get treatment they will have access to both local and national resources.

I have also been named chairperson of the parents advisory committee. It is part of the Central Texas Adolescent and Childhood Cancer Coalition. The coalition meets quarterly to discuss issues facing families with cancer.

Keeping busy
Jamie
