A lot of times its not about how many letters you write to raise awareness of childhood cancer, or how many glasses of lemonade you sell. 

Sometimes priorities overtake getting signatures on a petition.

Take yesterday.....

Aimee's Mom Annette was stuck. Aimee is home, on hospice, and not feeling good. Annette couldn't leave her. But, Aimee's dog was arriving at the Philly airport, and HAD to be picked up, or else it was doggy jail. Aimee, shown here with Mr. B (who reportedly was unconcerned about the entire incident), was bumming.....if it's not one thing....... So what to do? Dari dives into action. Blogs, posts, messages to the Big Apple Group. E-mails overload servers east of the Mississippi! ANYBODY! Please help! Suggestions come in...."I will chip in for a limo for the dog!", "I can go in the morning"......etc.

PAC2 people caring for PAC2 people.

Jay chimes in. Claims to be "on crutches"...... but let me ask Liz. "Can the dog co-exist with other dogs and cats for a day LOL?" Apparently so. Liz dropped whatever she was up to, gets the dog, who spends a restful night with the other animals. Today, "Lazy" the dog was re-united with Aimee, much to her delight.

On behalf of Aimee, Annette and the rest of us, many thanks to Dari. And I would personally like to thank both Jay and Liz Scott, the founders of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, who took a break from selling lemonade to make sure Aimee and Lazy were able to play today.

Now there's a reason to join PAC2 and host a Lemonade Stand, huh?

I am the co-founder of People Against Childhood Cancer, over 2500 parents, family, friends and major childhood cancer organizations united to speak as one voice against childhood cancer.  It is the #1 killer of our children by disease today, more than from asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and pediatric AIDS combined.  1 in 300 children will be diagnosed with cancer before age 20.  Help the fight.  Join us at http://curechildhoodcancer.ning.com.  Sign our Petition to Raise Awareness and Funding at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/CureChildhoodCancer
