Hayden's Scan Results

Hello everyone!

Hayden's appointment went well Tuesday. They took another scan of his brain and are still flabbergasted at Hayden's progress. They have absolutely NO medical explanation on how he is even alive. When Lisa asked how many cysts were still in his brain, the doctor commented that there were "over 100". Lisa compared the picture of his brain to a honey comb, with so many holes and black spots =(

Against all odds, some parts of Hayden's brain HAS grown back, but doctors are not sure it if is viable or not...only time will tell. All we know is that he is a resilient little fighter and an inspiration to us all!

That is why we so desperately need to be out there fighting for him and this benefit! I know we won't let him down!

Love you all!!!

P.S. The dart tournament is set!

For our NEW Members


Hello everyone! First off, I want to thank you for helping us secure Hayden's future!!! Your generousity and support means so much to our Hayden and our family!

Because it will take lots of work and will need all the help possible, Brenda made a forum to help keep track of Hayden's benefit. This is a GREAT and organized place (internet site) where we can keep track of everything, for example: food, venue, donations, etc. We can throw ideas around and keep them all organized! Here is the address:

http://s1.zetaboards.com/Hayden/index/

I know it's long but it's free. The only rule is to join using your REAL first name and last name. Since we all will know each other, it will be easier that way. So go look it over, tell us what you think!!! PLEASE feel free to go to the forum and post ideas, news, etc--that is why it is there!! EVERYONE is welcome!!

Once you register and log-in, you can bookmark the page and it should keep you logged in on your computer. (On AOL, click the little heart and click "add to TOOLBAR" then enter Hayden under the symbol and it will be in your toolbar across the top: Accessible with one-click)

The more people to become involved, the better! You never know who knows who till the word starts spreading!!!

Lots of News

Hello everyone!

Thanks to everyone who made the last meeting, we really appreciate your support!

Our next meeting will be on Saturday June 20 at 5:30 pm. I know how busy everyone is, but we REALLY need everyone to attend! The benefit is on July 19th and we still have A LOT of things to do!

I have been going to businesses and am finding that many people are not able to donate…I’m getting about 1 YES in every 10 NOs, so if everyone was out asking, we could really be getting more things for the auction! Like Starla said, treat your folder with your flyes in it like your “baby”—take it everywhere you go. If you run to get fast food, ask for a donation! If you go shopping for clothes, ask! It only takes a couple of minutes, but could really change Hayden’s life forever. Just ask for the manager, give him/her a flyer and ask if the company would be willing to donate for a good cause!

BIG NEWS!!! We finally got the TRUST account open, yay!! Lisa and I went to the lawyers and Shell Federal Credit Union and got it done!! The official name for the trust is: Hayden Vorse Trust (if anyone wants to write a check).

Brenda put a DONATE button on the blog so people can donate directly from the blog page!!!

A BIG thanks to Christina and Jackie and the volunteer group at Shell Federal Credit Union!!! They called Lisa and I today ad WANT TO HELP with the benefit!! Talk about great people! There are 20-25 people in the volunteer group and many of team want to help at the benefit! They have been passing out flyers in the community and generating interest and spreading the word! Wow, Hayden sure has some angels out there!

The dart tournament is set for June 27 (a couple Saturdays away)..we are still working out the details and will get back to you!!!

Thanks again to everyone that is helping to secure Hayden’s future…we couldn’t do it without you, every person counts!

Keep spreading the word and selling those raffle tickets

I LOVE Carrots!
