July 22 - United Way Drive

Every year, UPS conducts a fundraising drive for the United Way. This year, Mike has offered to speak to UPS employees on behalf of the agencies that have helped Kaitlyn in her fight against Leukemia. Those groups include Hole in the Wall Gang, Sherry's House & Why Me?, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and most importantly, Dana Farber.

Today, Kaitlyn had to go with Mike while he did his talk because we had both planned something at the same time and I couldn't take Kaitlyn with me. Having her there during his talk made it more real for the employees who are being asked to give their money to the United Way. Some even offered to give directly to Dana Farber. I am so proud of Mike for doing these talks and helping people to see how their money has helped just one family, one child.
