Buttons help keep Ellie Potvin in your mind as well as your heart!

It is with a heavy heart that I write what is at best an update on a sweet little girl's condition. As many of you know I befriended Ellie, her twin sister Grace and their parents Tim and Amy last year within days of Ellie's cancer diagnosis 

The MojoRiding cycling team - I wrote "I Specialize in Kindness" and many others joined together to ride the 24 Hours of Booty in support of Ellie's just beginning fight with cancer (rhabdomyosarcoma) - after more chemo and heartache than any child or family should endure things brightened late this summer as Ellie's cancer took a breather (as I wrote here "winning her fight"). But that joy was not long-lived as within weeks the cancer was back and once again Ellie and her family are immersed in the misery of cancer treatment and life altering decisions.

I made some new buttons picking up on Amy's new battle cry TEAM POTVIN - and I wrote to her that "I guess I don't know what to say so I make buttons" - Amy I'm sure had a little chuckle about that, that's just who she is. But I also know that the buttons I've made have been at times a badge of honor for the Potvin's and I know that Ellie likes seeing other folks wearing "her picture". So more or less I wanted to update this story and to thank everyone who has ordered buttons I hope you are wearing them and that they help keep Ellie in your mind as well as your heart. The Potvin's encourage everyone to wear buttons to support Ellie both in spirit and financially - it does make a difference ($2 from each button goes to the The Ellie Shoal Potvin Supplemental Needs Trust)

If you'd like to (please do) read more about Ellie and all the support she is receiving please visit her CaringBridge site (please leave a message of support) or her website Lift Up Ellie. And if you'd like to show your support by wearing a button or pinning one on your purse, golfbag or knapsack you can find them by clicking here at Buttons of Hope. Thank you for keeping this brave little girl and her beautiful family in your thoughts and prayers. makehope

I always think thao life is a chain of moments of enjoyment;not only about survival; did you agree with me?
