Today, the boys and I headed out to Silverlake for my 11:30am appointment for the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles Blood Drive, being held at the Pablove Foundation headquarters. It was my very first experience giving blood, but I can honestly say, it will not be my last.
The mural on the side of the headquarter's building says it all. Giving life saving blood to children in need of it's healing powers, is just one way we can "Pablove One Another". The boys and I loved that we got to visit with Jo Ann Thrailkill Castelaz, Pablo's mom for a minute at the blood drive. She is very proud of my Nate Doggie and his efforts at raising money in honor of her sweet little boy!
From one mother to another, we are in this fight with her, her family, and all the amazing people at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles and all over the country that are fighting just as hard to end the monster that is childhood cancer.
This Sunday Nathan rides in the State Championships in Big Bear. I'm so proud of my little guy! He's had a great run this mountain biking season.
I'm very proud of his accomplishments on his mountain bike, but I'm even more overjoyed at his loving spirit and kind heart.
Nathan rides in honor of Pablo Thrailkill Castelaz. He has been raising money for the Pablove Foundation one mountain bike race at a time with his campaign Mountain Biking for Pablove. He's surpassed his original goal of $500. We are thrilled and so thankful to all that have donated to this very worthy cause. This is Nathan's last "BIG" race of the season! Let's get him there! Let's get to $1,000! We've only got $300 more to go!
MOUNTAIN BIKING FOR PABLOVE
Love, Lisa
