5k Leukemia Walk for Gage …

This coming weekend (29Jan, 2011) I will be helping friends who are family to me, with a fund raiser in Corona, California. (I promise it will be worth the drive if you are ANYWHERE in Southern California!!!)  Come, volunteer your time, get a little exercise, and spend a little time with The Sky Angel and Tigger in person!  Winking smile 

Please come volunteer or donate help this adorable child!

This story touches me to the core, and I am certain after you read the details, you will want to become involved as well!   Red heart  When the Nicosia’s started this project, Gage was 14 months old and had just been diagnosed with  leukemia.  It has taken this long to bring the community together and get proper authorization from city officials, and Gage has just finished last treatment of chemotherapy.  Please help us raise money and awareness for childhood leukemia!!!

A picture speaks a thousand words ... PLEASE help us to help Gage!

Here is the information from the Nicosia (who I am SO VERY PROUD OF for joining the community together to help this family in dire need):

"Please help me" is what this photo of Gage says to me personally

To help Gage in his fight, we are holding a 5K Walk on Saturday January 29th from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Corona Fundamental Intermidiate School (CFIS). We are hoping to make a difference in this innocent child’s life by raising money to support his cause.
The Nicosia family is donating a $30.00 gift card to the individual (not a group) who raises the most funds. McDonalds has graciously offered to provide Hi-C and water for all walkers that participate in this event. Please either come walk or join us to show support for our walkers. DJ Whiteboy will be spinnin live along with a talent show,  so come and make this walk a success!!! If you want to help raise money for Gage and participate in the walk, please email the Nicosia’s at matthewnicosia@ymail.com . Thanks again, Tracy, Ray,  Matthew, Kourtney, and Kailey Nicosia.  Red heart

The Amazing Nicosia family (minus Ray because he was working)

Isn't Gage adorable? Come meet him and his family Saturday (29Jan) & help with the fundraiser for his treatment!

To learn more about Gage’s family, the treatment and how the family is coping, please go to their website :  http://lovehealsgage.com/ .  It goes without saying that we could use your prayers for a HUGE turn out, the turn out to be a success, and loving arms to help the Churchill’s cope and endure the long road ahead.  I can’t wait to meet them in person this weekend and give them my own hug … and of course I have a special item to give to Gage to take carry with him to be his new companion.  Winking smile

Gage and his loving parents ... I cannot begin to imagine how difficult this is for them

Hope to see you this Saturday, and please continue to join together in prayer for Gage and his family.  It would be WONDERFUL to meet those of you who have supported me with the troops and other humanitarian projects over the years.  Additionally, we really need donations to help Gage’s family with the treatment, volunteers for the event, and your support to make it a sucess!!  If you have friends or family in the area, please tell them about the event and ask them to come, even if you cannot make it. 

Gage the leukemia warrior ~ please help any way you can!

Always, Robin …

  2. The event was nothing short of AMAZING. Thank you so very much to everyone who came out to show their support to the Churchill’s, but also to my friend, Tracy. She put months of time and effort into making this vision become a reality. I’m so very proud of her and her kids for reaching out to someone they did not even meet until the day of the event. Gage was diagnosed with Leukemia in August of 2010. He is a vibrant little boy, with beautiful parents who love him so very, very much. If you want to follow Gage’s progress or the entire story, please read Lisa’s (Gage’s mom) blog. She shares her thoughts in ways that will directly pull on your heart strings. http://lovehealsgage.com/ . Thankfully we didn’t have to auction off Matthew, as we raised $2,010 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and $3,835.28 for the Churchill’s. Thanks again everyone for making a difference for this cause and beautiful family.

  3. Very nice post, I certainly love your website, keep it up!
