Makenzie has been busy lately. On April 3rd, Makenzie delivered 22o Easter bags filled with age appropriate goodies to Phoenix Children's Hospital to give to the kids who are patients there. The items that filled the bags were donated by students and families from Makenzie's school. Her classmates all helped fill and decorate the bags. 12 news covered the story.

Scroll down and find the video about the Easter giving spirit of a 2nd grader. It should be up for another few days or so.
On Thursday Makenzie and her family went to Disney: Monster's Inc on ice through the Starlight Children's foundation. They make sure kids who are dealing with serious health issues still get to have plenty on fun. All the kids had fun, even Brayden!
On Saturday, Makenzie spent the day at Lake Pleasant for C.A.S.T (Catch a Special Thrill) Day. The C.A.S.T organization provides fishing opportunites for kids with health issues where they get to fish with tournament bass fisherman out of their bass boats. She got a fishing pole and tackle box to keep. And she got to fish with a super nice couple, Leonard and Pam, out of their nearly new bass boat that I am sure cost more than mom's and dad's cars combined. They made sure her tackle box got stocked with pretty pink plastic worms. She even got to drive the boat. She did not catch a fish but she still had a load of fun. After fishing, all the kids got a barbecue lunch, trophies, and plaques for participating.
Tomorrow, Monday, Kenzie gets another MRI. We should know the results on Tuesday. Hopefully we have good news to report.

Wow Makenzie, that sounds like it was tons of fun. You are so lucky to get to do all of these fun things. Grandpa Bill and I love you very much and are so proud of you and your consistently positive attitude through all of this. I can't wait to see your tackle box and hear about your Disney on Ice trip. We will see you soon. We love you, Carson, and Brayden.
Hi Kenzie,
It was so wonderful of you and your friends to make the bunny bags for the hospital! I watched the news video! It was awesome! I hope you enjoyed the Easter cookie basket! Talk to you soon!
Love,
Angel Donna
