Up Date

So far now our fundraiser hasn't been overwhelmingly successful, but every lit bit counts and we have raised 287.00 so far( I know there  are some mail ins too by others in Jack's name). We put it in the paper, distributed flyer's, and had a volunteer on a busy road walking up and down with a sign. We even have lots of traffic on our street but yet no one stops in. Well we will see, we still have tonight. We would run it Halloween but we don't know how to manage it without the volunteers. The kids that are helping deserve to have their own Halloween plans they have tried pretty hard and the adults have to take their own kids out that night. We will see how tonight goes. I'll post most more next week. I have to thank Codie's Mom she really has put so much effort into this and the house is really amazing. The people that have come were floored at how amazing it was. They all had a very good scare. We even had a few yell the ice cream the safe word and could not continue. The kids love it though. I am keeping positive and in the end at least we and the people that went through had a great time.  Either way I know Jack would be proud of us for trying!Wish us luck tonight! Love you baby Jack and mummy forever

So good to hear that you have raised some money, being the first year that is the hard part. If you continue with it each year everyone will hear about it. Good for you and Codie for doing this. Maybe next year you could go to a school that is close by and ask to put up flyers just a thought. Good luck tonight, keep you Codie and baby Jack in my heart. xo

We got the kids to anncoune it in their shcools over the PA system. Your right Jackie it is the first year and weve been told many times just by those that did come that weve have been pretty brave to even put it on the first year of our loss of Jack. Either way I know Jack would be proud of us.

You should be poud of what you are doing. This year I am pretending that Halloween is nonexistent. The fact that you are doing all of this is such a big deal. Every dolloar that you raise counts towards helping future children.

Best of luck tonight and tomorrow.

Your Jack would be so proud of you. I am amazed at what you have done. Every little penny means something even if it doesn't amount to thousands this go round, it counts.
The fact that you did something so beutiful in the name of your son is a testiament to the love you have your boy.
I am so very impressed with you for doing this.
I recently became a volunteer for the March of Dimes and I am hoping that I can make a difference. But just putting myself out there makes me feel like I am doing something even if it is not much.
I hope that more money comes flowing in.
I know that the hospital will appreciate all of the work you have done.

With out a doubt Jack would be proud of you both. Keep you chin up and have some fun and lets hope that word has spread. No matter how much money you bring in it is a start. I know it was a lot of hard work, but well worth it remember that. xo

Hi Patricia,If you would like to donate in Jack's name and would like to let us know send me an email mmmfisher2004@hotmail.com to get our address, then click this link http://www.beasuperhero.ca/donateNow.cfm and donate under tribute gift. The hospital will then send us a letter letting us know of your tribute gift.

You can also just mail us a check if you prefer. We are waiting on some other mail ins to donate our final total so that would be fine too. Thanks Patricia :)
