Dear Family, Friends and HHH Supporters,

With apologies to our Vicar who told me not to send out thank you’s anymore, THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO MAKE HANNAH’S HOPEFUL HEARTS SUCH A SUCCESSFUL EVENT!!!

Bill and I are still buzzing – and exhausted – from the energy and people (over 400!) that were at Grace Church Friday evening.  And for those who couldn’t be there, we know you were with us in spirit.

Not only was I happy with our great turnout, but I loved all the help we received in putting together HHH.  What an amazing team…Grace Church and its staff, Children’s Hospital Foundation, the Pink Polka Dot Guild, the caterers and food prep/beverage people, the setup crew, the decorators, the music, the donation volunteers, Glassybaby, our individual and business sponsors, ALL the teens and adult volunteers who came together to offer their time and talents.

I’m especially thankful for our speakers, Ed, Cheryl, Jim, Bill and John.  I loved what they said, how they wove their messages together, and how they inspired us.  I believe they too were touched by the outpouring of support.  Dr. Jim said, “Last night was one of the best of my life.  This work is tough and sometimes I need to feel some wind in my sails.”

I am so proud of the money that we raised for Jim’s lab – over $70,000 and still climbing!!!

Finally, I was so happy to see Hannah having a great time.  She was so energized by all the people AND EVERYTHING at the event that she didn’t go to bed until almost 1 am! Bill and I were also so happy that biggest brother Adam and his wife Alexis, made the trip out from NYC to be with Hannah and us.  It was for her and the kids with brain tumors that we created Hannah’s Hopeful Hearts.  Thank you for contributing to Hannah’s HOPE FOR A CURE.

Love, Reba
