Tonight's picture was taken in September of 2008, the same month that Mattie began chemotherapy. Mattie received this wonderful foam world puzzle from my in-laws. Mattie loved puzzles and immediately assembled it together and then of course sat on it because he was intrigued by its texture. I entitled this photo..... "Mattie sitting on top of the world."

I am full swing in planning for the Foundation's Annual Walk. The past week or so I reached out to our corporate sponsors and asked them whether they would continue to sponsor our Walk again this year. One of our sponsors, IBC, has been with us since 2011, practically since our first Foundation Walk. They have sponsored our Walk for four years in a row! This year I asked IBC whether they would sponsor us at the Mattie Miracle level, which is a $5000 sponsorship. I explained that the work we are doing at both the local and national levels requires greater funding this year and I outlined specifically how the money would be allocated and my hope that they would consider joining us to achieve our goals.
I was thrilled to receive several emails from IBC today letting me know that they granted my request. I heard this news directly from the President himself! Who tells us that sponsoring the Foundation is an easy decision. If I could only clone Dan and IBC, Mattie Miracle would be in stunning shape financially. Mattie Miracle is deeply grateful to IBC for having faith in us for five years in a row and sponsoring our Walks and standing behind our mission and the work that we do! We are honored.
