Hello to all that read and participate at this site:
 
  I'm "J.J.Jingles the clown" and I want to invite you to Ryan's Lemonade stand on Friday, July 3rd for cool refreshments and a hand twisted balloon hat or animal.
  Please put a smile on a clown's face and many children suffering from childhood cancer by making a donation to a very important cause.
  We all want to be able to celebrate two independence days! July 4th, and the day childhood cancer is cured.
  I will look for you at Foote Avenue Quality Markets in Jamestown N.Y between 11 am and 2pm.  You can get an icy cold lemonade until 5pm.........SEE YOU THERE!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you could say it better than JJ "Jingles" who is so kind to donate her balloon expertise to the cause. 

**********************************************

We are back from our vacation to Wildwood, NJ.  It was particularly nice meeting our friends Scott and Rachel Riebel (who were in our wedding) and their 3 boys Nick, Josh, and Christopher.  

Ryan felt much better after IV fluids and some rest on Monday.  Tuesday he was able to go to the beach again with the rest of the boys and fly kites.  That afternoon, we hit the water park on Morey's Pier.  Ryan had enough energy to shoot the water guns and do the lazy river and then he took an hour's nap on a lounge chair.  After, I took him for some amusement rides.  Wildwood, NJ is a great family place with lovely wide beaches.  It's 9 hours from Jamestown, but worth the drive, especially to vacation with good buddies!

So please stop by our lemonade stand tomorrow.  I'm hoping it's sunny.  Thank you to the many people who have already sent in donations.  Many are from friends, some from strangers, but they all add up for more research so that one day children can be free from childhood cancer...now that's independence!

With love and thanks,

Kim
