Kaitlyn and Haley Inspire Too - July 1

My stepdaughter Madison was so inspired by the success of Kaitlyn's and Haley's lemonade stand that she wants to open her own lemonade stand! It will be open the following 2 days:
Thursday, July 2nd from 2-6p.m.Friday, July 3rd from 2-6p.m.
Location: Madison's Grandma's DrivewayStreet: 175 Raven Ln.City/Town: Bloomingdale, IL
We will be selling brownies, cookies (Maria's homemade ones) and lemonade. Please come show your support! All money raised will go to the brianna sharp medical fund.
If you are unable to attend and would like to donate please go to www.curebrianna.com. Click on the online donation button and instead of putting in your home phone type "madison's mission".
Checks can also be mailed to:5554 Gable Ct.Hanover Park, Il. 60133(please make payable to The Brianna Sharp Medical Fund)
Even though Eric, Zachary, Madison and Haley are not Brianna's blood sister they see Brianna as their own sister and want to love and protect her just as though Brianna was their own sister. They are very bright, smart and caring kids that only want the best for Brianna. As parents we are quite proud of them.
Bob (Jen's husband) and Maria ( my wife) have been instrumental in Brianna's life as well and love and care for Brianna and Kaitlyn as though they are their own children. I felt the need to write about them because I want people to know that they are instrumental in every way with Brianna and helping her in this fight against DIPG. Its so easy for people to focus on Jennifer and I because we are her biological parents but I felt the need to give the spotlight to the step parents and step siblings in this post because they deserve it. I wanted to thank them both with this post because I don't think they get enough thanks (at least from me I know)
We have been overwhelmed with the love and support of our friends from all over and we are grateful for your prayers. We feel it every day.
Matt
