Team Elizabeth Jeanne is Giving Back

Team Elizabeth Jeanne is Giving Back:
We are so grateful for every bit of generosity and kindness that has been sent our way.  Even before any of this happened, I have always believed that giving back and helping others is so important.  I want Celtan and Elizabeth to learn the importance of being kind, loving and generous people. So, I've been recently looking for ways to us to give back to causes that are important to us, that help support children with different medical and special needs, etc.  I will post any efforts we are helping with, in case any of our followers wish to help out, too.  

One Fight, One Family:
Next Sunday, September 20th, I will be joining many friends and family members on our "One Fight, One Family Team" in the "Walk to Break the Silence of Ovarian Cancer" at North Park.  Ovarian Cancer has touched my family many times.  It took my Great-Grandmother, Edna Schidemantle, from our family when I was very young.  My Aunt Susie Bly has fought and won the battle against it more than once.  A dear beloved, woman, family friend, and the mother of three guys I have known my whole life, Sandy Crawford, recently passed away from complications related to Ovarian Cancer.  Hank, Brett and Evan, your mother and the three of you, and your dad are very special to my family and I. We love you, and we loved her, and I am honored to be walking with the team that day.  We walk that day in her memory, and in honor of all of the brave women who have fought, regardless of the outcome, against Ovarian Cancer.  Please consider helping our team to reach our goal by clicking on the link below:

Supporting the Children's Miracle Network:
 So, you all know that sweet Elizabeth and I deal with a lot of doctors and have quite a few stays at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. You may be aware that CHP is part of the Children's Miracle Network. You may not know that the Miss America pageant contestants raise money and awareness as part of their reign and participation in the pageants from the local to state to the big stage in Atlantic City. We are so grateful to CHP for more reasons than I can list, and we are so grateful to anyone who makes efforts to donate or raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. This money helps support programs and treatments and all kinds of other wonderful things for our miracle and for miracles like her. Our dear friends, Arlene J. Roth and Samantha Roth, are helping our very own Miss Pennsylvania walk and raise money for the Children's Miracle Network as part of her fundraising, reign and participation in the Miss America pageant. Please consider donating to this very worthy cause. You can donate or read more by clicking on the link below. Thank you to all of the contestants for helping to raise money and awareness to a cause that is so precious to us.
