Purple Sunday May 3, 2009
As many of you who know us or have followed John Eric and his story on Carepages, John Eric always wore his Ravens Ed Reed Jersey on Sundays. John Eric was well known throughout the hospital, not only for his Ravens binky, but for wearing his jersey on gameday. John Eric and I (Daddy) even went to Training Camp before he was diagnosed.
After John Eric earned his Angel Wings, Alisha & I were in Great Moments, a sports memorabilia store in Westminster, and were talking to the owner about the best way to go about getting Ed Reed to autograph John Eric's jersey so that we could frame it and hang it in his room. We obviously didn't want to have to mail it and take the chance of it getting lost since it is so sentimental to us. He put us in touch with the gentlemen that runs Ed Reed's website and handles his personal appearances. I told him John Eric's story and he was more then willing to help us out.
Well, today was the day, Ed Reed was making an appearance and we got the chance to meet him and we got John Eric's Jersey autographed.
It was a very emotional day for all involved.
Thank You Ed Reed and Brad Schwartz for making this happen. GO RAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Race for our Kids
To Benefit Pediatric Oncology at the Chidren's Hospital at Sinai
Join us for the fifth annual Race for Our Kids on June 7, 2009. The race features 5K and 10K courses as well as a 1 Mile Family Fun Walk and has something for everyone - from the elite runner to the novice weekend warrior. Amenities include $7,500 in cash prizes, an Under Armour shirt and a post-race party catered by The Classic Catering People.
5K/10K - The 5K and 10K courses offer rolling hills and beautiful scenery throughout the Mt. Washington neighborhood. You can run or walk the 5K (3.1 miles) course and it is a great distance for those looking for more than the 1 mile walk distance. The 10K (6.2 miles) is more challenging and features $7,500 in cash prizes.
1 Mile Family Walk - The 1 Mile Family Walk travels around the Sinai Hospital campus and is great for families with children or those who want to participate in the race without completing the 5K or 10K. The Sinai Hospital Auxiliary hosts an interactive, themed walk with lots of fun surprises!
Adults $30.00
Children 5-12 $15.00

Host A Band-Aid Drive
March 5, 2009
Did you know that Fun, Colorful Band-Aids are not provided by most hospitals to their pediatrac departments and clinics? They have to either be donated or taken out of the budget of the child life department. Treatments in the hospital and Hem/Onc Clinics can be very overwhelming for many children. Often it's the little things such as a shiny, fun, colorful band-aid that can make many procedures seem not so scary.
Please join The JEB Foundation in hosting a Band-Aid Drive in your area.
For Information on how to have your own event, please visit www.teamsuperbay.orgfor all the deatails.
Help our Good Friend Bailey and his family The Spoonies, make the everyday lives of the all to many brave children , battling Cancer and other ailments , just a little bit brighter, "One Band-Aid at a Time".
