Stone Cold Creamery and Make -a-Wish

December 2005(New Year's Eve) we got word from Scar's GI at Arkansas Children's that he had Celiac Disease. For those who are unfamiliar with what that is, it is an auto-immune disorder. When he eats wheat, barley, rye or oats, his body turn on itself and attacks the lining of his intestines...it eats away the lining on the intestines and this is where all of the nutrient absorption takes place. Celiac is not necessarily considered life threatening, but it can bring on a whole host of other things that are...like Lymphomas...malnourishment,  etc. 

Scar was refered to Make-a-wish and in May of 2007 his wish was granted. We were wisked away to Disney World. All expences paid, tons of fun instore and spending money!!

It really was a very magical experience. Free passes to all the Disney parks, Universal, Sea World. We stayed at the Give Kids the World resort. This is where the wish families stay. It was wonderful. Everyday there were goodies left on our table for all 4 boys. Food was all provied and when we arrived, our refridgerator was stocked FULL of gluten free foods!!

We made wonderful memoreis there and not having to worry about accommodating Scar's diet while we were there was like heaven. 

Now, back to the original story...

There are currently 11 kids in Benton, Washington and Madison Counties that are waiting for their wishes to be granted. I am on the NWA Make -a -Wish Council. We are the ones who raise money for the kids to get their wishes.  ALL MONEY RAISED BY THE NWA WISH COUNCIL STAYS HERE IN NWA. We are also looking for new council members..if you would like to be a part...please let me know and I will get you hooked up!!

Stone Cold Creamery ( in Rogers and Fayettteville) is having a wonderful event the month of September..they are donating portions of their sales all month to  Make-a-Wish. But better than that, on September 25 from 5-8, they are having the worlds biggest ice cream social. 

I would love for you to  come out that night and help us raise money for these kids to get their wishes.  Please consider coming and eating a little ice cream. We will have balloons and maybe some other trinkets for the kids...did I mention that you get ice cream??

I will post  more later when things have been finalized!!!
