I started out at Parkview Hospital's Newborn Intensive Care Unit. Renell gave me a tour of the facility and I got to see all of the premature babies that are currently receiving treatment there. It was such a wake up call for me to see the babies and imagine that I was once in their place. The facility is just fantastic and I can't wait to get involved helping out any way that I can.
After Jenee and I were done at the hospital, I got to meet the head honchos of the Three Rivers Festival. Wow, they were a hoot! I had so much fun talking with them and telling them a little about myself and learning about the festival a little bit more. They are just so fabulous and I absolutely cannot wait to be involved with them and help out in any way possible!
Then I was off to finish the busy day at Northwood Middle School. To say that I had no idea what I was walking into is a bit of an understatement. The students and staff of NMS put on Aunt Elena's Hair Care Challenge to raise money for charity every year. This year the money raised went towards Holland Elementary School & some even went to the middle school. There was over $5,700 raised by these kids! It was just amazing. The enthusiasm and spirit the kids had for this program was just fascinating. I wish every school could have a day like this for kids to support each other and such a great cause. I am so honored to have been involved with the program this year!!
Wow, this was such a great way to start off my Thanksgiving break. Great, great day
