The evening started off with Maddy being honored as the Junior Honorary Chair. She was so brave and stood up in front of hundreds of people and read her story, All About Maddy. It was awesome to see the sea of lime green out in the crowd which gave her courage. From there, the fun and festivities began. Maddy had a wonderful time and held out until midnight before retiring to Mrs. D's RV for the night (she refused to go home to sleep). Words can't express how wonderful the night was. (You just have to be a part of Relay to really understand it.) Russ and I are so grateful for everything that Deb, Cindy, and Jen did to get the ABC 4 Maddy team up and going. We are also grateful for the many people who volunteered their time and talents to make the team a success. As of Saturday at noon, our team had raised $13,000 of the over $140,000 collected in Fulton county. How AMAZING!!!! I have included just a few of the many pictures that were taken. Enjoy!
Great pictures! Especially like the one of Mr. Bacik with Maddy. Never know when or where that one could turn up again!!
ReplyDeleteSo thankful to everyone who helped to make our team a HUGE success.
Also very thankful the weather cooperated, other than when we were setting up the tent! But no one melted! The rest of the day and night was perfect weather. Divine intervention if you ask me, since the weatherman wasn't very encouraging.
Maddy, loved seeing your smile all weekend. You were a champ reading your story and a great honorary jr. chairman! Have a good week!
Love you lots!
Mrs. Buehrer
