We did it!  We raised about $15,000 to help find a cure for mesothelioma!  Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a reality.  Whether you wrapped a basket, collected quarters or attended this event would not have been complete without you.  So CHEERS to each one of you.

I will be going to Washington DC again in June to present this check to the Meso Foundation. This brings Craig's Grant total to over $225,000. All I can say is WOW!  That is a testament to my friends and family for supporting me in my efforts.  As many of you know I told Craig that he would not die in vain and I would keep fighting until a cure was found and I could not do that without your help...so once again, thank you!

While in DC, I will once again try to talk to Missouri's Congressman and Senator about banning the importing of asbestos into the United States and the need for research money.  Wish me luck!  Capitol Hill is not always receptive and they tend to shake your hand and say they hear you, but I usually leave there wondering if they really do.......

Thanks you again from the bottom of my heart!

Believing in a cure,

Shelly
