Saturday night was The Aspen Fund gala, held to help raise money for my medical expenses. What an evening and what a turn out! I want to thank every single person who attended. You each hold a special place in my heart.
Aside from seeing a lot of my amazing friends (and making a few new ones):), the highlight of the even is when Angie Stevens and Susan Phelan put on the best show ever! Susan showing up was a complete surprise to me. I’ll give you the details soon! (I hope I can figure out how to upload the video I took, it ROCKS!) Sales of merchandise was donated to the fund, which was…. I am speechless. Thank you Angie and Susan sooo much. We could not have had such a successful event without you!
Due to circumstances, we did not obtain a proper liquor license ahead of the event. The donated beer from Flying Dog Ales and the liquor from Peach Tree Distillers was taken to Cap City Tavern and served to our guests when they turned in the cards we had donated/printed by Yellow Dog Printing (they looked awesome!!). Cap City Tavern saved the day! The beer was yummy and the liquor was great too. I’m going to post a review soon. Just wish I took some pictures of the food, it was beyond tasty!
I want to send a special thank you to everyone who pitched in to help organize this event. I appreciate all the time, dedication and effort you put into making this a successful event. I can not thank you enough!
Ooh! and don’t forget there is an autographed Carmelo Anthony Nuggets jersey up for bid on ebay!
If anyone reading this attended the event and took pictures, could you please send some my way? I tried to take a few with my camera, but I have been so shaky lately only a couple turned out. Thanks!!!

I will have an out of pocket expense of $6,700 this year to purchase an insulin pump and a continuous glucose monitor, that is after insurance covers their portion. I really need help with these expenses.
My goal is to raise $6,700, currently I am at $2,285.
See my Rose Garden to see the wonderful people who have already helped me.
