Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page.

It all started about 12 years ago, when my sister invited me to volunteer at St. Mary's Children's Hospital. As soon as I walked through those doors, I knew I wanted to take a more active role in helping the kids. I always had a knack for event planning, fundraising, and most importantly arts and crafts! I combined my talents of event planning and my craftiness to plan monthly events with creative themes for the children to enjoy. It started with my mom, sisters, and I hosting these events, then it evenutally evolved into events of 40+ people including friends and family (and their friends and family). My friend Rob took an active role and helped me grow our tribe and fundraising platform even more! I am so thankful and grateful for the support we continue to recieve for a cause so close to my heart.

This year will be extra special for me, because I will introduce my son Georgie to the world of St. Mary's and I cannot wait for him to hold the same values that I do, and meet the very special friends I have made over the years. He will meet his new friends and hopefully one day we will make our way back in to host events in the hospital again.

Thanks all!
