Chasing Rainbows: I'm Famous!...

I'm Famous!...

I was recently very honored to be asked to write a guest post on a very popular blog. Abby from the blog Notes From A Pediatric Occupational Therapist has a series called "A Parent's Perspective" and she asked me to participate! The blog is a wonderful resource for therapists - really, of any kind - and also parents. It's very clear that Abby pours her heart into her profession. It's admirable to me that she uses her free time to offer resources, tips, education and more on her site.

She put the post up today - and it was perfect timing! Not much happened around here today that was worth writing about. Well, unless you get as excited as I do when the boys get fresh hair cuts!! Here are their before and after shots...

Gavin!

And, Brian!

Thanks again to Abby for choosing me to appear on her wonderful blog. Now head on over to read A Parent's Perspective - Chasing Rainbows. And if you'd like my autograph afterward, you know where to find me.

Gavin's Playground Project

Gavin's Playground Project was born from my desire to see an "All Abilities" playground built at Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware. This is the hospital where Gavin spent a lot of time during his life... and where he ultimately died, surrounded by friendly and familiar faces. To mark the one year anniversary of his death, I held a fundraiser on April 5, 2014. You can read all about it in THIS post.

We raised a LOT of money, but not enough for a playground! If you would like to contribute to help make this playground a reality - so no kids will ever have to sit on the sidelines watching their peers play - you can contribute directly to the hospital through the Chasing Rainbows fundraising page HERE. Your donation will go directly to the hospital for the playground and is tax deductible. You can also create your own fundraising team page and start collecting donations in honor of anyone you want!! There is also a mailing address on their page if you prefer to mail a check. Designate your contribution in memory of Gavin Leong - or write in that this is for the playground so your dollars will go to the right place. Thank you for your support of Gavin's Playground Project!

Gavin's Trust Project

I created "Gavin's Trust Project" to help support Gavin's friends who receive services from the Chester County Intermediate Unit in Pennsylvania. I wanted to continue to try to "make the impossible... possible" for kids like Gavin, knowing well how hard it can be to get much needed "special needs" items. It makes me happy to know that even after his death, Gavin continues to help others. Click HERE to learn more about the Trust Project! All of your donations, big and small, will be added to Gavin's Trust Project to help therapists and teachers get what they need for children in this program. You can write a check made out to CCIU and mail it to: Chester County Intermediate Unit, c/o Deb Hiller, 455 Boot Rd., Downingtown, PA 19335. Please be sure to add "Gavin's Trust Project" in the memo. Thank you on behalf of me and my little superhero!
