I had a great weekend last week! My mom and I drove up to Barre, Vermont to take part in a Winter Softball Tournament! My dad sponsored a team for us called the "Royals" which consisted of Mrs. Vermont, Miss Vermont USA, Miss Vermont Teen USA, and myself. Freezing Fun For Families is the Worlds Largest Snow Softball Tournament. We played to support and raise money for Vermont families who have a child battling a life threatening illness. This years beneficiary is 8 year old Katie Grant of Williamstown, VT. She was diagnosed in July of 2008 with CML Leukemia. She needs to have a bone marrow done very soon;however, due to Katie's current living arrangements the hospital is unable to perform the much needed transplant until Katie can have a room of her own. This is due to her immune system being greatly depleted following the surgery. Through a generous contribution from Fecteau Homes, the proceeds from the event were able toprovide Katie and her family with a new home following her surgery. I felt so honored to have met the young girl, Katie. She was so kind and loving with such a heart of gold. I felt that there was no other place I wanted to be at that point except there. I am so thrilled to have been a part of this wonderful tournament and highly encourage it for next year.
