Going RED!!!

Welcome to the NEW layout! RED is for a reason! Leukemia and Lymphoma cancer color is RED!

I have been recently notified by my good friend Celeste that she is hosting a Cancer Benefit in my honor on August 7 at Green Iguana in St. Petersburg. I am excited and blessed to have a friend that would do something like this...

I am having a benefit for my good friend Melinda at the Green Iguana on Saturday, August 7th! I have teamed up with the owners of the Green Iguana, and they are excited about being a part of this benefit! There will be raffles, drink specials & PRIZES!!!!As much as I did not want to tell Melinda.... I had to! I met with Lee from The Green Iguana today & this event is going to be on the radio starting NEXT WEEK!!!!! I got it all set up without her knowing, so now she has no choice but to go with it! As some of you know, Melinda has Hodgkin's Lymphoma and is going through chemotherapy and radiation. Medical bills are already piling up, and she can use our help! Melinda has a beautiful little girl named Olivia who is 17 months old. Melinda is a police officer for the past 8 years, and she puts her life on the line to protect the community, so now it is our turn to repay her! So, come have fun for a good cause!I will post more information as I get it; and if anyone has any ideas, feel free to send them my way!****From Melinda****Tonight Celeste came over and visited with me and told me this secret. Immediately I cried tears of joy that I am so blessed to have her in my life. She was going to keep this a secret but needed to tell me so that I can send this event to my friends. I want this to be a time for me to raise awareness about blood cancers and spend the evening with my friends. As you all know I have been homebound since I have been on leave from work due to risk of infection. I hope that I am able to enjoy an evening with my friends!!!AND...Thank you to those already involved I love you all!!!!Donations can be sent to Celeste Bias @ 1928 Hudson Ct, Oldsmar, FL 34677A raffle for prizes is being coordinated and if you have any products or services you would like to donate, please contact Celeste!
