TJ's Trotters

TJ's Trotters We're a March of Dimes fundraising team formed in 2010 by Barbara Mason in honor of her friend TJ M So, here you go:
I have known Casey since the 1st grade.

Barbara's Story:
Some of you may wonder why I personally care so much about the March of Dimes. You've heard Casey's story, well, mine is much different, but without her story, I wouldn't have one. Our lives have taken us on many separate paths, but they always seem to cross again somewhere along the way. In all the years I have known Casey; I have known that I could call her and ask for anything

whether we’d seen each other 5 minutes or a year ago. When Casey announced she was pregnant with TJ, I was super excited for her and her little growing family. So, imagine my shock when Tommy calls me not only to tell me SHE is a boy, but to also tell me that they were transferring this little precious gift to a different hospital without his mommy. I couldn’t imagine the shock that Casey was feeling, much less the worry and pain as she discovered things were different than she’d planned. As her friend, I felt completely helpless. I didn’t know the right things to say or the right actions to take to help her at that time. But, later down the road, I realized that there was something I could do. Watching TJ grow and defy every doctor’s limitations they had placed on him, I was inspired by his will and his strength. I knew that the March of Dimes was a part of his stay in the hospital. So, why not form a team to March for Babies and raise money for a cause that helps babies like him every day and do so in his honor? So now, every year, I walk proudly for TJ in support of him, the Morgan family, and other families with stories like theirs. And to think that he can now walk along beside us makes every dollar spent and mile walked worthwhile

Friends it's the time of year we begin gearing up for March of Dimes fundraising, but today we pause to ask not for your wallet, but for your blood. Laney Vinson is the 3 yr old daughter of TJ's teacher Mrs Vinson. She LOVES my TJ, so I can only imagine her love for her own children. Only last week Laney was diagnosed with leukemia and hospitalized for her first round of chemo and blood transfusions. In the first photo is a fundraiser of sorts. Please consider coming to donate blood at West End elementary. I believe Laney's family will get a financial break on her future transfusions in exchange for these donations. In the second picture is a cute story. Mrs Vinson saw this photo with her grandmother. It's TJ with her daughter, sweet Laney! At my girls' softball game last season Laney was with her great grandmother (I think that's right) who was talking with my dad...her cousin. Small world.
*Let's make the world a little sweeter today. Will you please take the time to donate blood? These donations will help save countless lives and help a precious 3 yr old fighting for hers. Mrs Vinson is important to TJ. Help us to come to the aid of someone very good to our favorite little guy!! Please share this post and please consider donating!!

TJ was one of these 92,000 babies. We received information on treatments, the first piece of clothing he could wear; it was premie sized and BLUE (we had pink since we were expecting a girl), books to read him at bedside, access to support groups and info, and support and information for his older sisters who were lost in this hurricane too. The hug and genuine care and concern I got from the two representatives who visit TJ's bedside was priceless.

Happy Mother's Day from TJ's Trotters!!
