Wow! What a wonderful night!
The Huntsville Havoc hockey team hosted the first annual St. Jude night. They had special purple jerseys honoring 3 St. Jude kids. One sweet boy that is still fighting hard, our Baby Duck, and another sweet girl. It was so awesome to see KB 14 on the arm of all those jerseys!
After the game was over the jerseys were auctioned off. One Kayleigh jersey was auctioned to benefit PFK and nearly all the rest were auctioned off to benefit St. Jude. The Havoc organization raised almost $40,000 for St. Jude tonight!!!
Of course our kids wanted jerseys. We were looking for 14 but didn’t see it. Right at the end 41 was up for grabs so we bid on that one and won. As we were at the table bidding the last jersey was brought out. That guy wasn’t there tonight, he had moved up. Guess what number it was? If you are saying 14, you are 100% correct! Needless to say, we bid on that one as well.
As we ride home tonight from the arena, all I can do is be thankful for this community that continues to rally around us. God is good to bless me with words every night, but there simply aren’t enough words to describe this gratitude. We are humbled by each person that reaches out to us. By each hug, by each smile, and by every “I’m praying for you.” While we never would have chosen this path for ourselves, we are thankful for this platform.
Mark 10:
13 One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. 14 When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” 16 Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.
Children are a treasure, and anything we can do to help these precious children fight and beat cancer is worth the effort.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow 💜
