This weekend we attended a fund raiser in Ponca City for Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center in honor of our friends little girl Allyson Perry. On May 2nd of 2008 Allyson was diagnosed with a very rare brain tumor at the young age of 4 years old. Please take a minute to read about her story here http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/allysonperry/mystory
The fund raiser was a success with a golf tournament on Friday that Matt, Jimmy, Gary and Andrew (my uncle and cousin) played in with 24 other teams and a dinner and auction on Saturday night with around 160-170 people in attendance. The link below takes you to a video that they showed at the dinner. Please watch her video with a box of Kleenex by your side. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndqbIgJ0rU8.
I know a lot of you already have charities that you support but if you have been looking for a good one this is it!! This hospital does so much for children and their families that need help. If you would like to make a contribution you can do so by going to www.powerofallyson.com Please don't feel obligated. I will have no idea if you did or didn't donate. It doesn't matter if it is $5 or $5,000, every little bit helps!
I am hoping to come back out here this evening and post some pictures from our trip to Ponca. I have had zero time since we returned Sunday night to post them. I got some good ones!
Talk to you all soon.

It's too bad we missed you guys in Ponca. That would have been neat to see your kiddos in person. Max is such a cutie, and Calyn just seems like such a joy! Hope the travels went well, and we can't wait to see the new pics.
