Family Auctions Toddler's Art to Pay Medical Bills

Though his cancer treatments zap his strength, 3-year-old Liam Myrick refuses to sit idly in the hospital room to which he's been confined. The toddler uses what energy he has to paint, a hobby that may help his parents pay for his $500,000 medical bills.
The Missouri boy was diagnosed with stage-four Neuroblastoma in July, and when he's not getting chemotherapy or physical therapy, Liam takes to the canvas, WILX reports.

"Part of his physical therapy was getting him up to walk and he had to learn to walk again and so he actually got up and painted it," Liam's mother, Shawna, told the news outlet.

The Myricks, who were already saddled with expensive medical bills when their older daughter battled an unrelated cancer last year, are auctioning Liam's work on Facebook, paintings that demonstrate how he's coping with the pain of his treatment.
"He doesn't care about what's going to happen ten minutes from now," Shawna said. "He cares about the moment."

2012 Jump Rope For Heart

I have something to share from my grand daughter, Kitty's elementary school. She came to me last night and asked for my help getting her some donations for her school. She is really excited to Jump Rope For Heart! 

I helped her get her account all set up online. It was fairly simple. Then we got to work setting up an ecard and a video to share with everyone we know!

Here is a little information from her website that was included with her signup...

I'm joining millions of other kids to help save lives with the American Heart Association's Jump Rope For Heart Program!
I'm doing Jump Rope For Heart at my school and learning how I can help make a difference.  I'm also learning about my own heart, and how to take care of it. And I'm getting active and jumping rope!
I'm excited about raising money for other kids - kids with hearts that don't exactly work right.  Please help me be a Heart Hero who saves lives!  Thank you!

 Help me help Kitty get a lot of donations! She is such and awesome little girl!
