pandas event this weekend

[norcalmom]

Hi all,

Amyjoy and her son (along with very supportive friends and members of their community!) are having an auction this weekend. This is an event for her son, in an effort to raise money for his treatment, and for pandas awareness. But this post isn't to solicit donations.

 

Amy's incredibly brave 14 year old son, Lance, has asked Amy to try to find another pandas kid to go to the event, even if they don't want to be known as a pandas kids - it would be totally anonymous, just amy and Lance would know. This request came during a conversation about the event where he asked that the event be more about pandas and kids with pandas, not about him. Such a boy!

 

She sent me a P.M..and unfortunately we cannot make it. I was so bummed out. I just thought it would be sooo great for my son to give back a little, since I've pretty much sheltered him from how difficult it is to get treatment, and how lucky he is to be able to afford treatment. It would be a much more personal activity than the usual gift and service stuff we try to do this time of year.

 

So, if anyone is in San Francisco area (the event is in Sebastapol) and would like to stop by and meet Amy and Lance, I hear he might be playing the drums with some friends at the event!! This is a family event with all kinds of entertainment and activities for all ages.

(hope I'm not breaking any board rules here...really, just that I know Amy would love for her son to have some support for the pandas community so he doesn't feel so alone)

 

Amy - I'm going to have my son write a message to Lance on your PM - so look for a PM from me to print for Lance! Good luck this weekend!

I wish we lived closer! Sending best wishes from Canada to Amy and Lance.
