Fundraiser Planned

MacKenzie's swim instructor at the Spears YMCA was in a terrible car accident back in August and is still in the hospital having therapy. She sustained some head trauma and is having to relearn talking, walking, etc. She is doing good and making progress, but has a long road ahead of her. MacKenzie really loved Ms. Carrie and asks me several times each week if she is better and if she'll be able to do her swimming lessons. It's too soon to know her future, we know her recovery will likely be long.

I wanted to let you know that I was interviewed by a News and Record reporter for a story they are doing about Carrie and an upcoming fundraiser for her medical expenses. The article will be in the paper on this coming Sunday (probably in the People & Places type section).

The fundraiser is Saturday, September 26 at the Spears Y. It is a hot dog lunch sale from 10am until 2 pm where members and guests can purchase a hot dog lunch (hot dog, chips, brownies and a drink) for five dollars with all the proceeds going to Carrie and her family. They hope to raise as much money as possible to help with all her medical needs.

I hope you'll consider stopping by to help out!

Taylor Swift's Wyndham Championship Connection

With all the hype about Kanye West and Taylor Swift in the news, the ggoblogger thought it would be nice to point out how nice Swift really happens to be. Read the following. (Her truck was on display at the Kids Zone at this year's Wyndham Championship.)
"Taylor Swift's record company surprised her with a big pink pick-up truck for her 18th birthday, and she has found the perfect use for it.

On her MySpace blog, Taylor writes, "I'm very happy to say that I've decided to give my pink truck to Victory Junction Gang, a camp for really sick kids. That thought just makes me smile. For a few weeks, it's being kept at the Country Music Hall of Fame here in Nashville, in case you want to go check it out."

Taylor's donation goes along with her upcoming appearance at Nashville's Sound & Speed event, the country music and NASCAR celebration to be held Jan. 11-12. The event benefits NASCAR's Victory Junction Gang Camp and Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum. Taylor and Alan Jackson are headlining a concert Jan. 12 at the Sommet Center as part of the event.

The Victory Junction Gang Camp will use Taylor's pick-up to pick up children wih chronic medical conditions or serious illness from the airport and take them to camp. Taylor will officially present the keys to the truck to NASCAR's Kyle Petty and his wife, Pattie, at Sound & Speed."
