Special Thanks to Make-A-Wish

As Helen enters the hospital for her transplant, we'd like to say a special thank-you to the Make-A-Wish Foundation (http://www.wish.org).

Last year, Make-A-Wish sent Helen and her whole family to Maui for a very special vacation.  Many of the pictures on Helen's site were taken on that vacation.  We were especially touched by the level of care and thoughtfulness that Make-A-Wish put into planning Helen's trip.  To give you just one example, we didn't even have to worry about parking at the airport, because Make-A-Wish sent a limo to pick us all up!

But that's just one example.  Make-A-Wish made it possible for us to go snorkeling, kayaking, and even surfing while we were on our trip.  The care we experienced, and the joy of our trip made a very special memory that gives us added strength as we face the transplant together.
