I’m doing the Rise for Roswell and we’re getting money for
people who have cancer and they’re sick and we want to help them, that’s why we’re
doing this. So we need your help.
MAEVE: Hi. My name is Maeve and we’re doing the Ride for
Roswell and we need your help. If you
give us money, we’ll do thirty miles of riding.
DADDY: Um, three.
M: Right, three miles I mean. It’ll be me and mommy and daddy and Addie and
Clark and we’re all going bike riding but we can’t do it and we can’t help
people with cancer without you giving us money and donations. Daddy, can you put my letter on the blog?
D: Sure, I’ll put it right here. [The girls sent this
letter, composed and illustrated by Maeve, to a few family members.]
A: And if you help us, you can be part of TEEEEEAAM
GAAAAARVEYFISH! We’re Team GarveyFish
because we’re Garveys and we have a fish.
Get it? It makes sense. And if you help us we’ll love you.
M: Anyone who helps us is on Team GarveyFish too! What else should we give people?
A: How about we send them a video if they give us
money. I will send them a video that
says “HOW DOOOO YOU DOOOOO?”
M: A Harlem Shake video!
A Harlem Shake video!
A: We could give them a hat. Or Clark.
Or a hat with Clark on it.
M: I want to make a Harlem Shake video.
D: How about if we raise a thousand dollars, you can make
a special video to thank everyone.
M: I have a question.
Will we be Harlem Shaking in the video?
D: Up to you, pipsqueak.
Anything else we should tell people?
A: The place. You
have to say the place where people can send the money. Say this: if you can help us and send us
money and we can use the money for people with cancer all you have to do is go
to here. And then put the website. http://rideforroswell2013.kintera.org/garveyfish Now, daddy, can I tell you about riding a bike?
My Dear Princesses,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on doing something so amazing, and to help people who really need help.
I think because you're kind of young, and princesses and all, people will be inspired to do good stuff too.
Good luck and be careful out there!
love,
Aunt Cindy Darling
PS: I knew your daddy when he was just a little older than you... :)
I really wasn't prepared for number 4.
ReplyDeleteGo Team Garveyfish!
ReplyDeleteIf T-shirts are ever made, especially if they are made by Maeve & Addie, I want to order one. I will be the envy of Chicago/Oak Park. Not to mention the Gulf Coast when I visit.
I am SO impressed. I didn't have a blog or raise money for cancer when I was little. I did have a cousin who was not quite a year older than me, though, and if I can find pictures I'll scan them and send them to you Addie & Maeve because that cousin is YOUR DAD! He was so little and his hair was so blonde it was WHITE!
Good luck and look out for cats in the streets, too. They are as bad as babies in the road.
Love always,
Cousin Liz
