Our countdown is DONE--- Grier has completed 14 radiation treatments !!! This is not an easy thing to do for most adults and he did it--  Today was an easy day... two radiation treatments and a doctor's visit... the weather made it a little harder this morning--- rain and very windy-- but the afternoon turned out fine.

We heard about Grier's HAMA test and he is negative so GM-shots started today and will continue for 10 days-- we will start 3F8 on Monday for five days--- and HOME on the 19th-- just got the tickets today!!

I added a few pictures from the NY Knicks game and others I had not uploaded.... Grier is doing well... he did say today he was ready to go home-- I think he is a little tired so hopefully the next few days NOT having to go to the hospital will help.  Tomorrow we are going to the Princess and the Frog premier--- 

The bake sale  is almost here and it sounds like it is going to be AWESOME----

Please copy and paste this information and send it around to your Friends and family--- we need people to go and participate NOW-- I really wish I could be there..... :(  Not only will there be baked goods but also a raffle with so many neat items donated by local shops, friends, and teams---

Group of local Moms holding Cookies for Kids' Cancer Bake Sale at two separate locations on Sunday, December 13 from 1-5 PM to support Pediatric Cancer Research:
 
Reid's Fine Foods(225 E. 7th St., Uptown)
&
Blackhawk Hardware(Park Rd. Shopping Center)
 
In honor of Grier Christenbury and all the 'little warriors' like him.
 
We will have sweet treats and breads from every one's favorite bakeries, such as, Amelie's French Bakery, Polka Dots Bake Shop, Edible Art, Tizzert's and Suarez Bakery, just to name a few.  We have over 20 bakeries and bread makers donating baked goods, as well as, lots of goodies baked by local mothers.
 
Glad's-Glad to Give Program will be matching the proceeds from any Cookies for Kids' Cancer Bake Sale held in the months of November and December!
 
Cookies for Kids' Cancer is a non-profit organization committed to raising funds to support research for new and improved therapies for pediatric cancers.  Through local bake sales, Cookies for Kids' Cancer provides the inspiration and support for individuals, communities, and businesses to help fight cancer.
 
The first Cookies for Kids' Cancer bake sale was held in December 2007, when the mom of a young child with cancer decided to have an enormous bake sale where she and others would sell 96,000 cookies to raise money to help fund a pediatric cancer treatment in development.  With the help of more than 250 volunteers, all 96,000 cookies were baked and sold in just three weeks.  The bake sale raised over $400,000.  From the support the first baked sale received, the idea to create an organization for people to hold their own bake sales came to life with the creation of a national organization.
 
Cookies for Kids' Cancer is not about one child or one type of pediatric cancer.  It is about changing the facts of pediatric cancer for the better, forever.  Childhood cancers are the number one disease killer of children - more than asthma, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and pediatric AIDS combined.  Nearly 13,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year.  Survivors of childhood cancer face a broad range of physical and psychological challenges imposed by the disease, and some will suffer its long-term effects for the rest of their lives.  Despite all these statistics, there has not been a new drug developed specifically for pediatric cancer in over 20 years.
 
Together we can raise the funds and awareness necessary to change the face of pediatric cancer research and to provide more families and children with the hope they deserve.  Cookies for Kids' Cancer is committed to raising funds to support research for new and inproved therapies for pediatric cancer.  Make the future of pediatric cancers something more than a scary statistic.  Join in the fight because every child deserves a chance to live their dreams.Show quoted text -
