Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from Erin Hope and family and everyone at www

It has been really busy around here for Erin Hope and the family. She has had a blast attending all of the special functions lately. She has attended a Carolina Panther's game, made a radio commercial for Make-A-Wish Foundation, kicked off the annual local Relay For Life for the American Cancer Society, and rode on the Buble/Aiken Foundation float in the Raleigh, NC Christmas parade. She did not actually meet Clay Aiken but was real close to him. It was an exciting event for all. It was good to see all of Erin Hope's supporters at the parade as well. Especially those of you from Maryland and New Jersey. Special thanks goes to the Raleigh area Clay fans and the Buble/Aiken Foundation, and Deannie for making this a very special event for Erin Hope. I don't want to leave anyone out but I don't know everyone that was involved in making this special, but thanks to all who participated. We love you all!!!

Erin Hope's blood counts are still not high enough to go back on her oral chemo medication. She continues to receive the shots 3 times a week. These still make her very tired but the fever occurrences are less. Thanks for your many prayers. She is scheduled to have another CT scan on December 4th but we are not sure at this time if she will have it since she has been unable to re-start on the oral medication. We'll let you know.

Also, don't forget about the Tournament of Hope Golf Tournament on Saturday, December 6th being held at the North Carolina National Golf Course in Statesville, NC at 10:00. It located off of the Sharon School Road off of Interstate 40, west of Statesville. It is exit 141. If coming from Statesville, you turn left and go back across the interstate and turn left at the sign. If coming from Hickory, NC, turn right off of the interstate and turn left at the sign. The entrance to the course is immediately on the right. Please pray for good weather and a good turn out. There have been specially made caps and polo shirts made for the event and you may purchase those at the tournament. Also, since we pledged to never sell anything on our website, someone else is wanting to do so. Be looking for a link to another web site that you may go to to purchase your Tournament of Hope memorabilia. Look for pics real soon (I promise) of the caps and shirts and other events. We are looking at making this tournament an annual event to benefit various children's charities. More on that later.
