Back in July of this year, I had the opportunity to speak at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN, where we donated over 120 Fairies for St. Jude to eventually give to their young patients. This was my second visit to St. Jude and like my first visit, it was very moving.

Part of my talk involved making a special presentation to one of the St. Jude patients. What a lucky person I was to meet such a beautiful young girl! Seeing the magic in her eyes as I presented her with the Fairy of Miracles was worth more than words can ever tell.

Below is a blog commentary that collector Connie Emery posted recently. Connie’s words say it all so beautifully!

I spent last weekend in Memphis visiting a dear friend at St.Jude’s. His name is Dillon, & he has been a St.Jude’s patient since he was 5 yrs old. He recently celebrated his 16th birthday. Without the help of St.Jude’s & strong Faith in God…Dillon wouldn’t have survived the last 11 yrs. Dillon gave us a tour of St. Jude’s Chili’s Care Center while we were there. He continues his battle with his inoperable malignant brain tumor, but with the help of St.Jude’s & strong Faith in God, we believe he will win his battle with Cancer. I purchased a second Fairy of Miracles recently, to give to Dillon as a gift. I haven’t given it to him just yet, as I plan to wait & have Mark sign it for Dillon when I bring it with me to Decori this November. Dillon & I both live near the Kansas City area. Thank you so much for helping the children & families of St.Jude’s with your charitable Fairy of Miracles. I personally know how much St.Jude’s does for the children & their families. Most importantly, with charitable help such as your Fairy of Miracles provides, together many lives are saved. God Bless, Connie

Well said Connie…thanks for sharing the magic!
