Charity event with Buster Posey
Many of you may have heard of Buster Posey, the famous SF Giants catcher. Did you know that he and his wife have been doing a lot of charity to help pediatric cancer? Check out the Buster and Kristen Posey Fund.
On June 10, 2017, he invited a few kids undergoing treatment for cancer and their families to meet with him, and watch the game later on. He met with the kids, answered their questions, took pics, signed caps, and distributed some goodies. And whoa, what an excitement on the faces of these kids! From four year olds to sixteen year olds, everyone was thrilled. Here are some pics.
As for us parents, it was a welcome change meeting other kids and families outside the clinic or hospital setting. A chance to smile, enjoy the outdoors (good weather and game!) and share many light moments together. Oh yes, forgot to add that kiddo got Buster’s autograph on our children’s book. Will treasure that 🙂
A book dedicated to children with cancer
Towards the end of our kid’s intense frontline therapy, we started working on an adventure storybook for children titled “How Sunshine Returned to Joyland“. This book is inspired by, and dedicated to all brave kids fighting cancer, or facing other life critical challenges.
About the book: “When evil Darkness attacked and took away Sunshine from Joyland, sadness and fear took over. Apu, despite being very young, was determined to fight Darkness and restore Sunshine in Joyland. It was the most dangerous and difficult quest of her life. Join her on this adventure as she solves challenges, makes special friends (including dragons!), and climbs the steepest peaks of Mount Adversity. Can she defeat Darkness with the help of her friends? Will she be able to bring Sunshine back to Joyland?”
