i hope everyone who reads my blog knows that i also post weekly on the mashed potatoes for breakfast blog, and then ends up reading max's regular blog. i know it's a lot to hope for but i do. just in case, i wanted to share this here--
there are a couple magic water project fundraisers coming up next month, which i will be participating in.
the first one is a 5-mile walk, on september 7th, in an effort to raise at least $15,000, for a new scanner at rady's children hospital in san diego. i will be walking. you can read more about the fundraiser and if interested, pledge here.
the second fundraising event will take place on september 24th, at casa blanca salon and spa, from 3-6:30 PM. it will include various spa stations and a silent auction. i will be donating a number of prints to be auctioned off and possibly a photo session.
the photo in the above flyer was from back in december 2007, when i first met max. since then, his cancer has continued to progress and his health has significantly declined. today, his cancer indicators (certain lab values) are very high and continue to rapidly climb. he's not walking. he's dealing with nausea, constipation and leg, neck and head pain. and he's going through a new chemo combination, which his parents say is likely their last shot at stopping max's cancer.
please, if you haven't in the past, please consider donating to the magic water project's 5-mile walk or if you're local, attending the spa event fundraiser. you can read more about the magic water project foundation here and max here and here.

Oooh Deb. This is very sad news about Max. It really truly breaks my heart. I've been following his story and thanks to you, now have an awareness of the special programs and fundraisers that can help children/patients like Max.
Thank you for working so hard to help families in need... Your heart is amazingly huge!
All my best,
Jeanette K
Just gave some money to the magic water project...it's the least I could do.
