Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2003. Mattie was a year and a half old and was playing with one of his favorite puzzles. In fact, I would say that Mattie gravitated to puzzles and did not shy away from a challenge. Of course, he also loved the camaraderie of working together to create something.

I sat down tonight and focused on our very full year! We have accomplished a great deal Foundation-wise and one thing we don't always do well is to acknowledge our work and accomplishments. As one of our board members tells me all the time..... there are corporations with a ton of money, that don't seem as productive at generating results as we do! I take this as a high compliment.
This year alone, I have created FOUR videos for Mattie Miracle. Creating videos may sound easy and fun, but it is actually very labor intensive. It can take me hours to several days to develop a video, depending on the content that I am capturing. But I am big on photo documentation and to me one of the best ways to highlight an event is through a video. It's short, engaging, and conveys a message.
It seems fitting to have these videos as this marks our 10th year of service to the childhood cancer community. Click on the photos below to see this year's videos!
