Meet Two of My Bosses
I would like to take a minute to express my appreciation to all of you who wrote such nice comments in response to my induction into the University of Delaware Alumni Wall of Fame. Your comments mean a lot to me!

Proud Blue Hen!
On June 6th, I had the tremendous honor of being inducted into the University of Delaware Alumni Wall of Fame! I am so humbled and appreciative of this recognition. Thank you University of Delaware and UD Alumni Association.
Can You Help Aubree?
“Dear Be Positive,
My family and I thank you from the bottom of our heart for the generous donation! We are so grateful as it helps us tremendously. To say that the past year in a half has been difficult would be an understatement. Our beautiful daughter Aubree just turned 1 year old and she was diagnosed at only 5 weeks old. She is a beautiful blessing, and so full of happiness and joy! She is truly the light in our life! We deeply appreciate what you have done for us!”
Powerful Words!
Hello, my name is Gisela.
My daughter Arianny was diagnosed with leukemia on 1/29. As you could imagine, our world was turned upside down when we heard the words.

Running and Dancing FOR THE KIDS!
“We wanted to say thank you for the assistance B+ has provided. The loss of my income has definitely made things harder, but I wouldn’t trade the time I get to spend with Helena now while I care for her for anything.”

The Importance of Research
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of representing you at the 10th Anniversary Meeting of ACCELERATE. Over 220 representatives from 28 countries gathered in Brussels, Belgium.
FLY EAGLES FLY!
Because our mission is to help ALL kids with cancer, you may have noticed that I never address partisan issues like politics, religion, sports, etc. Please allow me this indulgence as I celebrate the Eagles Super Bowl victory with a couple of pictures of Andrew at an Eagles game back at Veteran’s Stadium.
Forever Changed
January 29th never used to mean anything to me. That is until 2007. It was on that day that my family would forever be changed…and certainly not for the better. Just two days earlier, my 14-year-old son helped lead his travel soccer team to a Pennsylvania State Championship.
