May is for Miracles

This month Ariana and Nicole Fulmino from Children's Specialized Hospital have been visiting our local Costco stores to thank them for their support and fundraiser.  All the employees are so supportive.  Ariana walks around as if she is an employee.  She even has her own badge!

We also have visit many Walmart stores with Kaitlin Davis from Children's Specialized Hospital.  They are also working very hard.  Thank you to all Costco, Walmart, and Rite Aid!

...and we can't forget, White House Black Market and Chico's had beautiful "Creating Miracle Charm Bracelets."

Walk N' Roll

The Walk N' Roll was an amazing event.  So many people gathered together to raise money for Children's Specialized Hospital.  We just can't say enough how grateful we are for all that Children's Specialized has done for us.  Ariana is our little miracle!  Team Ariana was at the walk showing our support!

Team Ariana!

2012 Champion Kick off - Ariana's 80's Party

How exciting! Ariana and her twin sister, Briana, went to Sweet and Sassy to get ready for the CMN Hospitals Champion kick off party.  They had a blast getting their nails and make up done!

There was a fun 80's dance party at Children's Specialized Hospital.  We were dressed 80's style, ate cupcakes, and dance to "Living on a Prayer"! It was so much fun!

Dance Marathon

Ariana loves to go to Dance Marathons.  We just went to one early May and she had a blast.  It is also wonderful to see young adults working together and supporting CMN hospitals!

Ariana loves taking pictures with Miss New Jersey!

Ariana loves to dance! Colette Forcier, from Children's Specialized does an amazing job at the Dance Marathons.  She teaches Ariana the moves :0)

Rock Climbing

Peak Potential is a non-profit Rock Climbing Program serving children with disabilities.  Ariana loves Rock Climbing.  She had so much fun, and is hoping to go back in the fall!

Family Advocacy Day

We were so excited to be part of the Family Advocacy Day in Washington D. C. last July.  We were excited to meet other families and lawmakers to spread our message to protect Pediatric Care! Ariana was on the Star Ledger and NJ.com, Channel 4 and 12 news! Our little super star!! She met with Senator Menendez, Senator Lautenberg, and other representatives.  It was a busy but productive day! Ariana and Briana were also very excited because they were able to meet "ICarly".  They love watching that show! :0))
