Katie's Hair and More

For those of you who voted in the poll about the color Katie dyed her hair and for those of you who are just curious:
Katie decided that if it's going to fall out anyway, it might as well be...
BLUE!!  (68% of voters got it correct!)

Blue hair makes blue eyes stand out!

Lots of people are really stepping up to find ways to raise funds for the McCarty family right now.

In case you're one of those people who don't want to miss out on any opportunity to help, here are a few things I've just learned about about in this regard:

According to Marla (Katie's mom), on December 9, the middle/high school orchestra concert will be dedicated to Katie. They might be printing t-shirts as well.

Also, the Student Council and the National Junior Honor Society at Peterson are both doing fundraisers. Student Council will collect pennies in February (that may be for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society). The NJHS will be selling t-shirts with "Katie's Clan" on them.  Anyone have info on these activities?  We're just getting this second-hand, so the details are a little unclear on this.
In other news, Michele Butler has sold out of the toffee at this time!  That's so exciting, and a big thank you goes out to her for taking on such a big project!


Do you have something to sell or an event coming up to benefit Katie and her family?  Just have info to share?  Please feel free to post your comments or email me (see the "Contact" tab or click here) and let me know about it!


Furthermore, please read the links in the purple bar at the top of the page, especially the "Want to Help?" tab.  This is important information that I hope you won't miss!


Stay tuned, because the next post will be about the much-anticipated bracelets provided by Barbara Collins!

Welcome!

Glad to have you here at the Katie's Krowd blog!

This is a place where friends of Katie and her family can tag up and share ideas and pass on information.  It's also a place for us to show our support.

We will let you know of any fundraising efforts we learn about and will also have items available to purchase from time to time.

Right now, Katie is in the hospital in San Antonio, getting her first round of chemo.  That started on Monday.

Katie will require a bone marrow transplant in the near future.  We'll let you know what to do about getting tested to see if you qualify to be the donor, if it comes to that.

Marla (Katie's mom) has updated their Caring Bridge page.  I've included a link for that on the sidebar, and it is up and running now.

Please feel free to comment here (at the end of this post), and read comments from others.  This is a community, after all.

Thanks for being a part of the crowd of supporters who make up Katie's Krowd.
