Dear Sponsor,

As you know Ashley made the 2012/2013 Dazzler Dance Team of Seminole High School.  The Dazzlers are a five time UDA National High Kick Champion as well as a two time MA National Champions for both JV and Varsity.  And just this past season they won the FDTDA State Championships in both JV and Varsity in ALL dance divisions.  This is their ninth consecutive year winning that title. 

Every year, the Dazzlers proudly perform at the Seminole High football games during half time with our band.  We have also performed for the Dancing for Diabetes show, Arts Alive, the Sanford Christmas Parade and the Disney Christmas Parade.  This past year, we performed in the opening ceremonies for ICU held at Disney's Wild World of Sports and in the Disney Christmas Parade with the Shake It Up stars.  Several of our dancers were featured in the televised Capital One Bowl half-time show and many of the Dazzlers have traveled to New York City to perform in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In order to supply this year's dance team of on hundred members with all the necessary equipment, such as costumes, props, music, entry fees, transportation, and backdrops,we continually fundraise.  Part of the requirement of being a Dazzler is working concession stands at UCF games and the UCF Arena.  And each member is required to work a certain number of events each month.  They also work many athletic evens at Seminole and the traditional school fundraisers such as car washes, donut sales, car washes, and Domino's Pizza Card sales.  This is in addition to after school rehearsals, Saturday rehearsals, many performances and competitions.

However, even working the events listed above, we still must turn to the community, friends, and family for help in raising funds.  Your tax-deductible donation will go a long way in helping these girls remain National Champions.  As our way of saying thank you, your name or the name of your company will be printed in the SHS football program, and in the Dazzler Review program. 

Thank you for sponsoring a Dazzler for the 2012/2013 school year.  Your donation will be used to help Ashley achieve her goals during her performances with the Dazzlers this season.

In great Ashley fashion, she did very well with her trip to the hospital and recovered well from the procedure. Right now, Ashley is off with her Grammie getting spoiled by shopping. With no one in the house but me and the pets, I am off to my own devices which usually means I have to much time to think, to research, to worry, to vent, to hope and to pray. Today Ashley had a broncioscope to find out why she has been coughing for six months. After getting up at 4:30 am and at the hospital at 6 am, the scope began at approximately 7:30 am. The procedure itself took less than 30 minutes. The outcome of the procedure left me with more questions than answers. We do know why Ashley is coughing, Ashley has a vocal cord dysfunction, enlarged adnenoids and tonsils. Finding out why Ashley is coughing is good news, however, we also learned that Ashley may have other issues involving her lungs. There was 60mL of fluid in her lungs. Some samples of her lungs were sent for a cell count, bacterial cu

Ashley's Story

“Although Ashley’s liver is failing, she isn’t sick enough to be placed on the liver transplant list. We were told that Ashley would need a new liver by the time she reaches puberty." Ashley was born at the end of July in 1998, but her story doesn’t start there;her story begins when she was just a little peanut in my womb. At 24 weeks gestation we learned we were having a girl, but our little girl had something wrong with her. Imagine sitting in the examining room, and the excitement of learning you are having a girl, then at the same time you hear the silence in the room when something is just not right with the baby. We were told that Ashley possibly had an ovarian cyst. It was normal and not to worry. But something told us it was more than just an ovarian cyst. As soon as Ashley was delivered she struggled to live. The umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck twice, and she was blue. Thankfully the doctor cut the cord immediately and although Ashley was still blue; she was b

It's been a while. Did you know...

that Ashley was in the hospital  after Thanksgiving and before Christmas?  She had a bleed. She has varices.  Just a little reminder that she is not healthy and has a life threatening liver disease. that we lost our beloved beautiful puppy, Sarge, on January 2.  It was sudden, shocking, and sad.  We think he had leukemia based on his symptoms.  Not sure if we will ever get another dog.  Sarge was one of a kind and a perfect fit for our laid back, drama free family. that Ashley made the Principal's Honor Roll her 1st Semester of high school while taking all honors courses.  She is beautiful and smart. that Ashley is still dancing for her high school dance team minus a solo this year. She loves being part of the team but really misses competing in her favorite style of dance, lyrical/contemporary. that after a couple years of not having a dance studio to call home.  We think we may have finally found just the place.  Maybe someday Ashley will compete on a stage again and not
