Most of you are aware about Bo and his story,
I say that because most of us have been living it day to day...that's what
happens when an incredible young man like Bo Johnson lives within your
community and that community happens to be in a county where people help each
other.
Since moving to Door County I've been amazed
at benefits and such things that have occurred on the behalf of individuals.
Never before have I lived in a place where this has happened, and here in Door
County it just seems to be the way of life.
I was beyond excited at the chance to make
cookies for the Go Bo Foundation Bake Sale...and even more glad that I could
hand deliver my cookies and not have to ship them. :)
Most of us have read our share about Bo; most
of us have shed tears about his situation. Some of us know his family
personally, but his message was clear, we are to "love each other, help
each other and have your neighbor's back."
Bo challenged his classmates to "help
someone in need- even a stranger- reach out and help. This world can be a
better place if we care and help each other."
So it's with pride that I say that I am able
to make and hand deliver these cookies, but I have to report that I made more
than the cookies I am delivering... I had a few friends "order"
cookies so they wouldn't have to fight the crowds this weekend...and when I
deliver the cookies, I will also deliver a monetary donation to the GO BO
Foundation from my friends who just wanted to help out like I did.
For nearly a
month my right wrist has sported a GO BO! orange bracelet...I gave one to each
of my boys and when they asked what it was for, I told them it was to help
remind us to pray for Bo...and now I use it to remind me to pray for his mom
Annika.
GO BO!
~ Enjoy! ~
