If you have any questions, please email Laurie@cfl.rr.com.

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.

ALF vs COTA - Loosing Sleep

What would keep a person up past 3:30 am? Decisions... As most of you know we have been using ALF (American Liver Foundation) for Ashley's Liver Transplant Fund. However, in the past year, we have found that ALF is not offering us what we need among a few other reasons which I will not blog about. When we opened Ashley's account with ALF we did so quickly after the death of my dad during Christmas 2006 and New Year 2007, we did not have time to research the best fundraising organizations. There are so many organizations out there from ALF , COTA , NTAF . But because of my dad's untimely death and because his dying wish was that friends, family, etc. donate to Ashley to help defray our medical costs, the first organization that came to mind was the American Liver Foundation. After all, Ashley does have a liver disease. Now, both my husband and I are wondering if we should have used COTA. We have also thought and inquired about opening up a local trust fund for Ashley. Howeve...

Living through Dance

In just about six weeks Ashley will dance, not just any dance; she will be competing in a big regional dance competition by dancing her very first solo.  It's completely amazing, seeing Ashley dance, watching her live through dance.  When Ashley was born almost 11 1/2 years ago, I never ever thought, we never thought Ashley would live to dance much else do her first solo.  I can't believe I am crying as I type this.  I didn't think I would get emotional.  It's just amazing!  When I put her in dance at age 3, I did it because I knew I needed to stop sheltering her.  She needed to be around other children.  She needed to feel normal despite what is trying to zap the life out of her; despite her disease.  Honestly I never thought Ashley would be a good dancer or even a great dancer, I just knew dancing was safe; it was the one activity the doctors felt didn't put Ashley's life at risk.  Little did I know how much dancing did and still d...

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...
