Good Morning –

We are all basking in the good news from Hilary’s visit this week to MD Anderson. I had a feeling it would be positive but all tumors responding was really amazing.

It’s been 6 months of chemo and the doctor has ordered 3 more months so I need your help to keep Hills up as she embarks on this next chapter of chemo. She truly LOVES the chemo cheer. You all have done such an amazing job in creating thoughtful, funny, meaningful cheers that have made such a difference in her chemo experience. Right now we have MANY open slots for chemo cheer leaders and I need your help. Next friday is open, May 16th is open, May 30th is open and all of June. I know this is a busy time with school ending and summer beginning but it doesn’t have to be a BIG thing. It can be very simple. I can help with ideas. If you are out of town I can help with presentation. The last cheer was lead by Jill Wynne in San Francisco and she put a book together of your submissions and had it fed-exed to Hills and I gave it to her yesterday. Jill thank you so much for leading! We ended up not doing your cheer and are saving for next week in case that slot does not get filled.

Katie Marye came and sat with Hills yesterday since insurance got in the way of chemo happening on April 28th. Katie’s theme was Music and so FUN to see the book she put together and the “mixed tape” with album covers of some great oldies. I left chemo to get Hills some lunch from one of her favorite places, The Steeping Room, and came back to her with a huge smile on her face listening to all the music y’all submitted. Thank you Katie and all who contributed to the Music theme.

If you have an idea but don’t want to lead, send me an email. If you want to sit with Hills and need help with leading send me an email. Sitting with Hills is such a great experience and it can be for a long or short time. Whatever you can give. She loves to have company. Or if you want to do a cheer but can’t sit no problem, just email me – becbrudobb@gmail.com.

Cheers to Date:

Hugs, Angels, Humor, Love, Inspiration, Patience, Selfies, Pay It Forward, Choose Joy, Music, Cultivating Calm and Peace.

Let keep up the Cheer!
