Today is the first day of school for Aly! Thomas has been in school for 2 weeks! I drop Aly off, in the mornings, on my way to work. On the way to school Aly says, "I'm kind of excited that school is starting." She is happy to be able to attend the first day. Last year, she didn't get to join her classmates until November 1st.
This year she has some big plans, already. She wants to campaign for student council. She spent all evening, last night, coloring a poster that says, "Vote for Aly". So cute. During the open house, she picked up some worksheets that have to be filled out in order to run for council. It had questions to answer. One was, "what makes you a good candidate?" Aly said that going through and surviving cancer has taught that she can do things she didn't think she was capable of. She also said she likes to volunteer her time and help people at home and in her community. Definitely true. I hope she makes it. She would be a great student council member. Anybody who has kids at Middle School East...ask them to vote for Aly! :)
Aly's cancer doctor said that Aly will need to do another MRI in December. If that one is clear, we will go to 2 per year! Yeah! November will be the one year anniversary of being cancer free!
Another reminder to consider a donation to CureSearch as September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. All donations are tax deductible and 94.6% of proceeds go to research for finding a cure! We are walking, in St.Paul on Saturday. We have joined Luke Letellier's team for walking. Join us if you'd like!
