Tonight's picture was taken on March 12, 2009. At that point in time we were getting ready for Mattie's chemo regimen to end in about 3 months or so, and the goal at that point was to work on rehabilitation of Mattie's arms and legs with the hope of him returning to school in the Fall of 2009. Of course that never happened. As you can see here, Mattie was doing one of his favorite things..... building with Legos. The year Mattie was in the hospital, we must have built every possible Lego kit available. We still have some of Mattie's creations fully assembled in our living room.

It is a very busy week for us, filled with many childhood cancer awareness meetings and events. We attended a five hour long meeting today, and heard about the state of affairs with drug development and research and the role advocacy groups are playing to provide children with cancer improved assess to medications. Tomorrow is more meetings and an evening reception, but it doesn't stop there. We are busy through Sunday. On Sunday we are participating in the largest rally for childhood cancer in which we will have a tent set up on the National Mall promoting the Foundation from 10am to 3pm.
