2/11/13

BH we can add another great day to the list that will hopefully stay this way. Eli woke up in a great mood and his mood and appetite just continued to get better thru out the day. He had a very big lunch and then decided even though it’s barely 60 degrees outside that we should have a BBQ so that’s what we did and wow did he eat. We have the Eli of old times back and hopefully here to stay this way. Eli has definetly gained a nice amount of weight from the low he was at about 10 days ago when he finished the rough round of chemo.

Rabbi Jacobs came again today and learned with Eli and it’s been a huge chizuk for Eli as we have finally figured out a way that will make him want his rebbi to come and learn with him and even to be reviewing his Chumash in bed at night $0.25 a posuk and he and we are loving the results. His rebbi and morah have been exceptionally special and caring towards Eli and we wil never properly be able to thank them.

IYH the good days for Elimelech Ben Basya are here to stay and we continue to daven that this will be the case in hopes of seeing Eli have a full refua BKAROV.

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”
