Greetings!

This has been a busy month for the Carson Leslie Foundation! Here is what we have been doing!

 

The birthday boy was duly celebrated on earth and I'm betting in heaven too...

 

His day started off with donuts delivered to the construction workers of The Carson Leslie Center!! The gym that is being built in dude's honor...

 

Then, 2 days later we celebrated at the Ranger Game by loading up 2 Premier limo's full of cancer-fighting-teens to laugh, play and watch Ranger baseball!!  

 

Everyone enjoyed Jamey Adam's suite, complete with food, drinks and lots of A.C.!!  

 

Carson's buddy, Michael Young & The Rangers, gave each cancer-fighting teen 2 Ranger's hats, a Ranger's banner, an AL West Championship souvenir ring plus a Ranger's ice cream bowl (WOW...so generous)!! 

 

The CLF gave each cancer-fighting-teen a baseball. 

 

THEN....The Great Michael Young signed & signed and & signed...and we took a great photo!! 

 

The game lasted 13 innings + The Rangers racked up a game in the W column!!  The night was complete with a rain delay; a deafening clap of thunder that freaked our the players and spectators alike plus a sweet memory was made that none of us will forget for a very VERY long, LONG time!

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIRTHDAY BOY...we will see you in a little while...

 

One of the cancer-fighting-teens who is recently blind from her "struggles" wrote Michael a note that said, "I don't know yet if blind people dream, but if they do, I will dream about this night for the rest of my life"!!  

(It is such a gift to be part of these teens lives...thank you for helping us help them).

 

 

Being part of this bypartisan bill the past 2 years in Washington D.C. has been such an amazing healing process for me...it patches one tiny part of my broken heart & it motivates me to keep on fighting for the next YOUNG & fearless kid diagnosed with disgusting, life robbing cancer...

 

Nancy Goodman is a lawyer plus a fellow cancer-mom-sister-friend in D.C.  She has navigated this bill alongside Congressman Michael McCaul and explains The Hope Act in this short video!  

 

I had the privilege of speaking in Congressman McCaul's home sharing Carson's story when he kicked off the childhood cancer caucus which resulted is this great victory!!
