Ashley's Cookbook - Our New Fundraiser

Here is a copy of an email I sent out explaining our cookbook fundraiser.

Dear Friends and Family,

As you are aware our daughter, Ashley, will need a liver transplant in the next three years. Since January of this year we have been raising funds through the American Liver Foundation to cover the cost of her liver transplant and associated medical expenses. So far we have raised approximately $20,000 for Ashley’s transplant; our goal is $75,000. We are getting closer to reaching our goal but we still have a long way to go. That’s why we are starting a new fundraiser.

The mom’s at the dance studio that Ashley attends have decided to create a cookbook to help raise funds for Ashley. What’s wonderful about this cookbook is that 100% of the sales go directly to Ashley’s Medical/Transplant Fund. However, we need your help. We need recipes and lots of them. The more recipes we receive the better Ashley’s cookbook will be. If you would like to submit a recipe, please follow the instructions on the attached form. You can be a part of the success of the fundraiser, please submit your recipe today.

Please rush your recipe form, the sooner we get the recipes, the sooner we get the book completed and published; just in time for Christmas. Also if you would like preorder a cookbook, please let me know. We don’t know how much we will be selling the cookbooks but it will probably be in the neighborhood of $15 to $18. We will be emailing order forms in the near future, so keep an eye on your email inbox for more information.

Please forward this email to anyone you think might want to submit a recipe and/or purchase a cookbook.

You can download the Cookbook Form by visiting Ashley's Fundraising Page on her website at Love for Ashley. Once you fill out the form, email the form to loveashley@loveforashley.com. Make sure you put Ashley's Cookbook in the subject line.

Thank you!

Okay so I made you wait a couple years.  I promise I will try to get better at this.  Now to help  you catch up on what happened in 2018, 2019 and so far in 2020. Let's see...this might be a very short post at least for the years 2018 and 2019.   2018 In 2018, Brad graduated from the Univeristy of Alabama with a BS Degree in Economics and Philosphy in May. He is still dating his high school sweetheart, McKenzie, there is talk of marriage.  After graduation, Brad got a job with Reuters as part of their Graduate Leadership Program.  Then the division of Reuters that Brad worked for became Refinitiv. He lived in NYC for about six weeks for training and then lived in Chicago for about 9 months before they transferred him to Houston to work as a Customer Success Manager in Commodities and Energy. McKenzie also graduated with a BS in Pharmacy but continued with her graduate studies.  Ashley is a Junior in college and she is doing well academically and h...

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 som...

On the Mend

Ashley's doing better and was able to attend dance company rehearsals Saturday and she was finally able to eat something for lunch on Saturday. She still doesn't have much of an appetite but she at least is on the mend and is no longer contagious. Me on the other hand. I have been very healthy these last few years; hardly sick at all. Yesterday, I came down with a very nasty stomach virus and I am frequently in discomfort. Other than a bout with intermittent stomach cramps and frequent trips to the bathroom, I feel fine. Hopefully this little stomach bug will go away very soon. And I pray that I don't pass it along to anyone else in the family especially Ashley. Cookbook Update : I just checked the UPS website and the cookbooks are on time, in Orlando, and should be delivered to our house tomorrow, June 30. I am so excited. We have 80 more cookbooks to sell, so if you haven't ordered yours yet please do so today. Please see information about ordering cookbooks at the ri...
