This year, for my birthday we held a fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at my old stomping grounds, Fulton Lounge. We raised about $850.00 for one of my best friends, Ashley. She is trying to raise a whopping 60K to fight the blood cancers that affected her then 26 year old fiance, Mo (Mike). She has actually already raised what I believe is about $40,000.00 to date.
This is a picture of all of us at their wedding, 6 months after they were originally supposed to get married. Mike had gone through 12 rounds of chemotherapy as well as another number of radiation appointments.
It was such a fun wedding and great experience to be a part of. Mo, who was the captain of Western Michigan's hockey team, and a very healthy guy, had overcome the biggest obstacle of his life.
Ashley and Mo are such a great couple and are still working to raise some money for her campaign.
To donate to her campaign you can go here:
Although it was a bit colder in December than it would have been on their original July 11th date, you could feel the positive energy and warmth beaming from everyone there.
