Happy Birthday, Chris!!!

People have said that I’m the ’face’ of the Foundation (I know, scary thought, huh!!!) and our family.  If so, Chris is the ‘brains’, and Ali and Andrew are the ‘heart and soul’.  We complement each other well.  And, I couldn’t be more blessed to have a better wife and partner along this difficult journey.  People are surprised when I say that I’m tremendously blessed.  But, when I think about Chris & Ali and all of the wonderful memories I have of my son, I am.  I’m really, really sad…but I’m blessed.  I couldn’t do this without you, Chris.  It doesn’t really feel right saying “Happy” birthday…but, I hope today can be as happy as possible for Chris.  She certainly deserves it!

Switching gears a bit, I’d like to recognize and thank State Rep. Greg Lavelle for his generosity to our Foundation.  Several years ago, Greg opposed a pay raise for legislators and, since 2005, he has been donating his raise to various community organizations.  For the second year in a row, Greg has included The B+ Foundation as one of the 6 non-profits.  Thank you!!!

The CityLife Block Party series is benefitting The B+ Foundation this Thurs from 5-9pm at the Plaza at City Centre (10th & Tatnall Sts. Wilmington).  There will be food, soda, beer, and live music provided by three country/Americana/alternative country bands - Yarn, Kalai King, & The Miles.  Cover charge is only $5 and proceeds benefit the fight against childhood cancer.

Don’t forget — you can order Kind Joe B+ Coffee at www.BePositive.org.

Kind Joe is 100% Arabica beans that are purifed to remove the irritants making this a low-acid coffee.  There are six varieties and they cost only $10.  You can also sign up for a recurring order of the coffee.  The feedback on this coffee has been very positive.

Thank you very much for all your prayers for our B+ Heroes.  I received a text this morning regarding test results on one of our Heroes.  The results — NO tumor!  It’s SO nice to get this news. 

Live Like Andrew - LAUGH!
