Power Potting!


Great day! I had the best team of ladies
potting huge amaryllis bulbs which will
benefit the Patrick Chance Fund for Neuroblastoma
Research.

We were like bees humming in
my backyard shed cranking it out...
from the pebbles in the bottom of
the container, then some soil, topped off by a
colossal amaryllis bulb.

My garden buddy, Kris, has sold over 600 bulbs
this year in the quest to find a cure for this form of
childhood cancer.

Packaged bulbs line the walkway to shed!
Blessings from the Garden.

Seeds of Hope

Many of you have been following the battle of little Patrick Chance in his fight against Neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. I spoke to my garden buddy (Patrick's grandmother), Kris, yesterday, and found out Patrick has more tumors in skull and chest.



Needless to say, the rest of day was spent thinking and praying for this young life. Kris has worked tirelessly to raise money for the Press On Fund which supports Neuroblastoma research. Neuroblastoma is a cancer of the sympathetic nervous system. It is believed that immature nerve cells get mixed signals and develop into blastomas(tumors) and never make it to mature normal nerve cells. The cause of Neuroblastoma is still unknown.

Click on www.pressonfund.org to see pictures of Patrick and learn more about Neuroblastoma.


Kris pleads for our prayers for Patrick and his family. She has worked so hard selling "seeds of hope", Patrick's Amaryllis bulbs & paperwhites at Christmas and driving the "Johnny Hensley and the Red Hots" concert last year. All to raise money for Childhood Cancer research.
