Saturday, May 16, 2015


Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2008. The day after we learned that Mattie had cancer. We took Mattie to Georgetown University Hospital and at the Hospital, he met his art therapists and designed this wonderful boat made out of a cardboard box. With Mattie's wonderful curiosity, he took the boat home and placed it in water to see if it would float. He added toys inside the boat and he had the boat for quite some time. Mattie loved boxes and could play and create with them for hours.

After months of planning and very long days and nights, tomorrow is the Walk! Typically the weather has always been sunny and lovely. But tomorrow they predict rain. I know this is the reality, but somehow I feel that Mattie always looks down on me and the event and looks out for us. This is the Foundation's largest fundraiser and awareness event of the year, so it is important that it occurs. Especially after many months of planning. The Walk is a rain or shine event, but let's hope for shine. Or at least clouds and no rain with lightening and thunder. 

On Friday, Mattie's school had a "get your orange on" day in honor of Mattie and Mattie Miracle! This is a group 5th graders and as you can see orange was a plenty!

This is a photo of the items that have been donated toward the Walk by supporters! This collection is happening at my friend, Ann's house. As you can see the collection is extensive. We thank all our amazing supporters who help us in all ways to keep the Mattie Miracles happening as well as in keeping Mattie's memory alive.
