MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2008-12-24T10:52:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to all.

I received a holiday card and enclosed was a story about a girl and her horse. The following is an excerpt. If you like the story entire story be sure to book mark it so others can find it too.

Another Unsung Hero By Kristi Lacy

I’d like to tell you a story about an extraordinary horse that never got the credit he deserved. His registered name was On Time 70; we just called him “Time”. The tears still come every time I think about my old friend. He came into my life when I was a 13 year-old horse crazy girl and he was a 4 year old, just finished with a year and a half of basic training but with loads of talent. I lost him 17 years later in 1991. After all those years and all the horses I’ve raised since, he’s still the best horse I ever owned.

In the spring of 1974, I was attending my second barrel racing clinic conducted by Carolyn Degnan. I had a smart little, Morgan Welsh cross, pony that had taught me lots and we’d had a little success competing at Little Britches rodeos. Carolyn pulled me aside and said, “There isn’t anything more to teach that little horse. You need a bigger horse to be competitive.” from a letter to Web by Jase written by Lacy Quarter Horses.

C-sections tied to higher asthma risk for babies

2008-12-23T07:24:00.000-08:00

Allergies and asthma- msnbc.com

LONDON - Babies born by Caesarean section are more likely to develop asthma than children delivered naturally, Swiss researchers said on Tuesday.

Although conflicting evidence on the link between asthma and C-sections exist.

Asthma researchers said the number of children involved in the asthma study and a long monitoring period strengthened their results.

The potential risks of elective C-sections as more women in Western countries choose to avoid a natural birth, the researchers said in the medical journal, Thorax."

If you have e-mail addresses to the other cheer squads and can forward the information to them, that would be wonderful. Come over Saturday and bring friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc. I will also be selling tickets for our Pampered Chef raffle on Saturday as well as taking donations from shoppers who would like to make a donation for our teams travel expenses.

Luke Gane / KISS FM to donate $10,000

2008-09-18T09:13:00.001-07:00

If you read below, the Anaheim Ducks will donate $10,000.00 to CHOC Hospital if more that 100,000 people click onto this video on the KIIS FM web site. Please take a minute and check it out. It will help a good cause.

Ok, so KIIS FM is at CHOC allll day and a bunch of stars will be there, etc.

They shot a vid on Sat. and it's on this link http://www.kiisfm.com/pages/lollipoplive08/?_show
It's the Viral Video. Just click on the photo and you will catch a few quick shots of Luke getting down. It's a fun video.
Check out the entire site. There will be photos and vids of the event posted sometime today too. Make sure to watch the vid because if they get at least 100,000 hits, the Anaheim Ducks will donate $10k to CHOC.

Last night Tomoko told me that this is the week where it should become clear if Luke's body is accepting or rejecting the bone marrow transplant.

Luke is doing good. He's out of it from meds, but his spirits are good and I'm sure that today will be a fun one for him.

Tomoko will be there all day and she'll take pics if cool stuff is going on in Luke's room. We'll post those this evening if there are any.

Thanks for the prayers!!!!

Jr. Midget Gold Fundraiser Dinner

2008-09-10T20:35:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that Jr. Midget Gold team is having a dinner fundraiser at the field this Thursday for Luke Gane. It will be Taco-in-a-Bag night. The team mom and I are getting everything together for this dinner. The dinner will include: Taco-in-a-Bag, Drink, Watermelon and cookie for $5.00. We are also going to have Chili Billies and other snacks available. It's a great chance for those who want to support Luke and can't make it to Sunday's fundraiser.

Having gone through Cancer this year, I can tell you that it is very expensive and emotionally draining. I was very fortunate to have a good insurance and the support of family and friends. Even though insurance covers a portion of it, there's a deductible to meet for both treatment and medicine. For those who don't know or having found them self in this situation, with medicine, once you reach a cap, you have to pay the next portion on your own until you meet a certain cap again before the insurance company will cover again. Cancer medicine is very expensive.

This is the life of a teenager - a young man that is fighting this dreadful disease. He deserves a chance to live and his parents deserve a chance to have him there to enjoy with him. I don't personally know him but I'm cheering for him. I know I would want the support and love of my child's team and co-teams if such a tragedy would occur to any of my kids. Times are hard but we should all remind ourselves how lucky we are to have healthy children. As parents, our children are our number one priority and our number one worry. Luke has been in the hospital for a while now so emotionally, I know that his family is going through a lot. A simple gesture as HB Pop Warner has decided to do is going to be a load off their mind and a big financial help. If you are unable to financially support, please keep him and his family in your prayers. My faith and the fact that so many people were praying for my recovery made me stronger through all the chemo. It also gave me strength during the times that I wanted to give up.

Whatever we can do as a team and a football community is going to be appreciated. So please keep this Thursday in mind.

Thanks!

Marlene

Cheerleaders and Football Players Fundraising Notes from the Coach

2008-09-09T11:10:00.000-07:00

Hello Cheer and Football Parents,

I wanted to share some wonderful news with you, and touch base regarding our team's financial status, thus far. We had a successful Opening Day and with sponsors, dinner nights, the Applebee fundraiser and other fundraising events, so far, we will be able to have a very nice team banquet at the end of the season.

We still have a couple of dinner nights, a couple more sponsor checks coming in, and currently have a fundraiser selling Pizza Coupons for Bella Roma [9101 Atlanta Avenue, Huntington Beach].

It is my hope we can have an incredible season end banquet, similar to last year that the boys and girls will enjoy after a long season’s worth of hard work. It is also my hope that we will again be able to sponsor at least one football player and one cheerleader for 2009 HB Pop Warner Football Season.

For those of you who don’t know, league rules state that if football and/or cheer plan to travel, they are able to fundraise separately after the $100 per child is raised jointly. We have met this $100 per child minimum (and then some!). Since Cheer was so successful last year, they are guaranteed to be invited back to Las Vegas Cheer Nationals. Similarly, football is hoping to travel to San Diego for a post season game.

Since cheer and football are pursuing travel interests with different cheer and football needs and desires for each of their teams, we will each be doing seperate fundraising from this point forward.

Thanks to everyone’s efforts in working together for our cheerleaders and football players benefit. I am very happy with the progress so far – and we are just getting started. This is proving to be an awesome season. Keep up all the good work everyone!

If you are interested in speaking with HB Pop Warner you can contact the board of directors here: hbpwf.com/Contact/board.php

Thank you,

John Siebel - Jr. Pee Wee Green Football - Head Coach
