I'll be there for the show Ron. It's timely that you should mention the Make a Wish foundation now. As everyone knows Amber is due any time now, some of you may not know that her doctors had given her literally 99.9% chance that she would never be able to conceive, due to the amount of chemo she received during puberty.

It was about the same time that we got this bad news when a representative from Make a Wish foundation asked for an appointment with us. I don't know who contacted them about her condition, whether it was her school teacher, one of my friends, the clinic, or one of you. All I know is that the magic of a childs wish took hold from that day forward to her full (and now complete) recovery from a very aggressive case of Hodgkins disease.

For a week, they replaced needles with goosebumps, Chemotherapy with cotton candy, and doctors and nurses with Mickie and Minnie. I watched with my own eyes as despair and pain turned to smiles and hope.

For a week, there were no worries about money. Every detail had been thought of and taken care of. The everyday worries of life disappeared amid the fairy tales and smiles.

After our return from Disneyworld, Amber turned the corner and began to improve. Her cell counts were back up and she had more energy. The talk of a marrow transplant vanished and things were looking up.

I have no doubt that our respite from death and disease played a pivotal role in her recovery. She watched 2 of her friends succumb to cancer in the following months, all the while she was getting better every day.

I guess what I'm saying is, Make a Wish is no ordinary charity. I have seen the magic of their touch first hand and urge any of you that may donate to a charity to consider this one.
