If you are reading Leah's blog, you have already helped by keeping her in your thoughts and prayers, giving her support in many ways, or just by being a friend. These are priceless ways of helping and we all know how much Leah appreciates them.
Leah's coworkers at SEA Corp wanted to help by having a fundraiser and the concept has gained considerable momentum as more and more people have become involved and lent their input. There are spreadsheets and action items and websites - the organization and dedication of these wonderful people amazes me! And we were able to persuade Leah to let us do this for her. So many people have reached out wanting to do more for Leah and her family, and this is one way of allowing them to do so (and have a fun time doing it!).
Here is the event being planned in Leah's honor.
Saturday, January 18th from 6:00pm - 10:30pm
at The Elk's (141 Pelham St, Newport, RI)
