Told you folks long ago that I would never ask for anything for myself and will hold to that.

I want your assistance/help/emotions whatever the heck you want to call it and it will only take a little bit of your time, a card, and a stamp.

The young man below is a local kid and his step-dad works for the same company as I do. I have never meet either of them but, for some reason that usually doesn't matter.

Maybe some of you will remember Rachel that asked for postcards from around the world and you folks stepped up and made her last wish come true and I still Thank All Of You who sent her a card.

I want to let this young man know he is now "WorldWide"

Here is what I Ask from BT...Please send him a card, X-mas, Get Well, etc....which ever you prefer. So he will know where it came from somewhere on the card write/add "BT Family"

Here is the address at the Ronald McDonald House:
Grayson Gunter
c/o RMH, 2144 Fairfax Ave.
Nashville, TN 37212

Here is his link if you want to read more:

Thought I would pass this along from Grayson for those who might have missed it. You folks make a difference I am real sure you made this young man smile and now he is learning he is "Worldwide" Thank You again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have gotten a lot of cool messages from people in faraway places. Thanks to everyone for spreading my story. Maybe Mom will be able to get some more pictures uploaded. She says it takes a little work because she has to make them a certain size to fit the site. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks! Thank goodness she has a 12 year old to teach her how to do all this techie stuff!

Love, G2

Card going off from the UK today, Blue.
Working with kids with life limiting illnesses, I do know how important things like this are.

I sit and think of what I try to live by you know the "It's All Good" well "It Isn't" and then again "It's All Good" the battle is not lost!

How do folks tell a story without sounding self-indulgent or seem as though you are trying to sound your own horn...today I had started to tell a story of how I spent my Saturday. Trying to find the right words and and tell you about a very special 9 year old young man who is fighting his demons with the help of family and friends.

My words can not come close to his so please check out his journal and this story in a local paper that says more than I ever could.

One note to all that sent him the cards...as he sit up in the hospital bed and we talked a huge smile came on his face when he spoke of them and all the places they came from. I told him about the BT Family and who you were his response "That's Cool"

Thank You All

BH, you rock! Read Grayson's post yesterday and saw you had been there. Now, that is what it's all about! I got a card out to Grayson last week. Hope his tests all come back good and he can get to the next level. That would nice great for him.
