1/1/13

Eli had another very good day BH and as I always say under the circumstances he’s doing very well. Eli has his first doctor appt with his new main doctor in CHLA in the morning where we will get to speak to his doctor for a good hour to see and hear the plan for next weeks chemo and other future treatments he will be having on his long road to beezrat Hashem a full recovery.

While we were hoping he would go today to play with his friends in school he changed his mind at the last minute (although he seems and is very happy he is also understandably very moody). So he did instead get another visit from his rebbi Rabbi Jacobs who he happily sat and learned a few new posukim and got a reward for knowing perfectly the whole parsha he last learned in his classroom. This made him very happy and we hope to only see that continue to be the case.

Eli together with Binyomin Chaim Ben Faigie Sarah were treated at the Brecher home this afternoon to hear a very special band that is in town from Israel and he really enjoyed that. We are hoping to be zoche BKAROV to see Eli and Benny have a full recovery and refua shelayma Bsoch shaar choley Yisroel. AMEN

Special Announcement

For the last few months a group of our close friends have been arranging to join Chai Lifelines marathon taking place in Florida on 2/2/14. They have already 12+ people just on the “team Eli” group along the many others that run for Chai Lifeline. To do so every runner goes through MONTHS of rigorous training which they have all began doing already. This is one of the bigger fundraisers for Chai Lifeline who anyone who has ever needed their services knows how vital they are when a family member is going through a illness. And for those who BH haven’t had a sick family member and beezrat hashem will never have should know that they are simply a lifeline. Always there and always thinking about what they can do to take their chesed to the next level.

Our family will forever be makir tov to them for what they have done for us and continue to do. Every runner that signs up is essentially pledging $3600 to join the CL team. Aside from the training they do they must also raise the $$. On the link below there is a team Eli page which shows how much together the team has raised but you can click on each persons name and donate directly to their pledge. We beezrat hashem hope as a family to be there together with Eli who will be pushed in a wheelchair/stroller by one of the runners during the marathon

I look at this as a insurance plan that hopefully your donation should chas vshalom never be used towards your family or anyone you know but for us its the ultimate lifeline. Again I ask that anyone that can should please donate whatever they can “every dollar counts”. If you can donate $5 great if you can do more even better. If you can fully sponsor a runner would be amazing. There is also nothing wrong with a runner more then fulfilling their pledges for this great and worthy cause.

Anyone wishing to join the team should please email Ayalaback@gmail.com and anyone wishing to donate should please go to this link: http://www.teamlifeline.org/myteam.php?myid=88.

All I can say simply is “tizku lmitzvos”
