The Power of Faith, Love, and Hope

We said we would get back to you with who had to buzz their hair at the High School... well, the pictures say it all!

In just three days, the high school raised close to $6000.00 in honor of Maddy. No one was safe from the clippers! Half of the money raised will be going to St. Baldrick's to help fund children's cancer research. The other half will be donated to other cancer organizations and charities of our choice.

It is hard to put into words how truly thankful our family is to be a part of the Archbold school district and community. While we have been through many trials this past 16 months, we have found ourselves continuously saying how lucky we are- lucky to be surrounded by such caring, generous people, lucky that any help we need is always just around the corner, and lucky to have a community praying for us. The events over the last few days have renewed our faith and once again, we find ourselves saying how lucky we are!

Today was a perfect example of what cancer CANNOT do:


Cancer is so limited... It cannot cripple Love. It cannot shatter Hope. It cannot corrode Faith. It cannot destroy Peace. It cannot kill Friendship. It cannot suppress Memories. It cannot silence Courage. It cannot invade the Soul. It cannot steal Eternal Life. It cannot conquer the Spirit!


From the Bottom of Our Hearts We Thank You!!!

    My heart overflowed and my eyes leaked at the outpouring of love shown by all the basketball team, TINA, Mr. Frank, Mr. Meister and Mr. Deskins. Miss Maddy, you are not alone and we love you so much. I pray your next two days go quickly. May your treatment go well on Thursday and may the Doctors get great wisdom from God to enable them to treat you just right! You are loved.

    I can't even begin to tell you how moving today was for me as a spectator. It is truly amazing how a small community such as Archbold can rally around someone or something they care so much about. It truly speaks volumes of those that participated and supported honoring Maddy today. I was so glad to see Maddy there and I hope she not only saw the love, but the felt the love and support as well. We will continue to pray for Maddy and your family.
