Kenzie has been busy lately. She is doing well in school. She is finally figuring out that she doesn't like homework. She's lost a bunch of teeth, threatening to bankrupt the tooth fairy. A week ago she spoke at Casino Night at the Arizona Biltmore. This was a fundraiser for Phoenix Children's Hospital. They had a silent auction and a live auction to raise money. They also had casino tables set up. Guest were given chips and could play for more chips. They could then exchange the chips for raffle tickets for various prizes. Makenzie played some blackjack and did pretty well with some "help" from the dealer. She put all her tickets in the IPod jar and managed to win an 80GB Video IPod worth $400. This last Saturday Kenzie and family went to the annual family festival at McCormick Railroad Park in Scottsdale put on by Hope Kids (http://www.hopekids.org/). She and her brothers had fun, they ate pizza, rode the train, the carousel, played games, and got a Build-A-Bear. The weather was perfect.
The Angel Adventure Walk is coming up this next Saturday. Kenzie appeared on 12 news last Friday night to drum up awareness and support for the walk.
Makenzie has hit her goal of raising $2000 for the National Brain Tumor Foundation thanks to so many generous family members and friends. Of course, she is hoping to raise more.
