Noah Nelson

Back to School with a Clean Slate

Hello all - sorry for long delay since the last post.  We stayed very busy this summer with family road trips - escaping the heat when we could...San Diego, San Francisco, and Flagstaff among others.  Noah, Sarah, and Lara also had a visit with the Oncology team in NYC for his 6 mth check up.  The doctors gave him a clean bill of health, YES.  He is now 4 years free of disease!

School starts tomorrow - Noah going into 3rd grade and Sarah into 1st.  They are both truly excited to back to school.  Fall sports are also around the corner.  Noah and all his buddys will be be playing on a flag football team and Sarah will play soccer - she'll have to put up with her dad being coach.

We constantly remind ourselves how fortunate we are to have Noah doing as well as he is.  On the other hand, our family has personally met 2 familys from Phoenix in 2009 alone whose child has been diagnosed and/or is still struggling with the disease.  This is THE reason why it critical that we continue to support the cause and fundraise for the children who have been struck with childhood cancer.

Thanks again for everyone's support through the years!

A Perfect Day @ Longbow G.C.

Another successful event in 2009!

 

Over 250 guests attended the event this year and together with thoughtful contributors, we generated over $61,000.  Over the past 5 years of the tourney, we have raised more than $310,000 for the cause.  All monies raised have gone to fund research that may help thousands of children who have this pediatric cancer.  We are thrilled and grateful!

 

The day was truly magical for our entire family.  It was a fun filled event with golf, kid activities, a barbeque, silent auction and raffle.  Noah had a blast and is already looking forward to next year.  He continues to remain No Evidence of Disease and is enjoying every minute of life to the fullest. 

 

Noah is heading for NYC for routine scans in July - we will update the blog after the results finalize.

 

Have a great summer!

Friends and Family,

It is tournament time once again!  We are very excited for the FIFTH Annual FORE NOAH Golf Tournament and Family Barbeque happening on Sunday, April 19th, 2009, benefitting Children's Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation (CNCF).  Our family-oriented event will not only feature golf, but also prizes, a Hole-in-One contest, a catered barbeque, an auction, raffle, kid's golf clinic, and plenty of childrens' activities.  The post-golf activities will begin at Noon.  We are in need of golfers, raffle and auction items, and volunteers.  We are so grateful once again to the McNichols and Longbow Golf Club for donating their beautiful facility for our cause.
