I will always remember the day I made this video. A good friend of mine who has a background in Marketing/Advertising had been encouraging me to do a reel. I must have tried at least twenty times before I got that take… I stumbled and cried through too many to count, until at one point I was just overcome with strength and clarity (I’m sure it was from the Big Guy up there). He knew I wasn’t giving up until I got it right. #BecauseofKarson
Yesterday was Karson’s last basketball game of the season. He’s usually #10 but in this game he is #45
#mywarrior Sending a big thank you to his coaches and the youth program. He grew so much this season and I’m so proud #10 #perseverance #teamwork #basketball

Happy National Son’s Day
I’m a little late, but I couldn’t forget my not so little man. He is one of three of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. #mynotsolittleman #myhero #nationalsonday #itsalwayssonsdayaroundhere While we are over Winter and ready for Spring, we enjoyed the snow today for a bit.
Karson wanted to be sure we would be able to look out the windows and see our snow man facing us. He did a great job. #manofthehouse #shovelingformomma #snowfun My little man was so excited when I picked him up from school today… With a big smile and a little bit of suspense, he proceeded to pull out his award. #proudmomma #citizenshipaward

![]() I’m excited to share the first of our two new Board of Directors. Welcome Rebecca Lacey! Rebecca comes to us with a background in Real Estate (for over 15 years) focusing on Lake Placid Vacation Rentals and Customer Service. “I learned about Hope for Miracles through Karson, who is best friends with my son Alec. The first time I met Karson I was impressed at what a truly amazing person he is. Not only is he kind, and beyond polite, but also one of the bravest children I know. Over time I became friends with Holly who is truly an inspiration. When my son Alec was six, he was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia and spent a few weeks in the hospital initially then we had to go multiple times a week for almost a year. I will never forget that experience and the children and staff we met along the way. Every time he had bloodwork done; I was scared because the results always came back as mild Leukemia because some of the symptoms are similar to Aplastic Anemia. I understand what it’s like to have a child who is sick; the fear and the need to help. I was inspired when I found out that the Holly created Hope for Miracles to help children battling cancer. I feel blessed to have this opportunity to be a part of this organization that is focused on funding childhood cancer research.” As a nonprofit, our goal has always been to bring awareness to our cause of supporting children and families who are given a childhood cancer diagnosis. Having experienced this plight firsthand, we feel it is so important to be a resource as well as an advocate. Along with this comes the responsibility of partnering with local organizations to raise our visibility and share in a common goal of community. We are excited to announce we have become a member of the North Country Chamber of Commerce. Alone we can only do so much, but together with other agencies, resources and organizations, we can do great things. We can make miracles happen.
#ThrowbackThursday ~ Let’s choose to see the roses
Today is National Childhood Cancer Day.
We fight #becauseofKarson and for those like him. The global incidence of childhood cancer is increasing, and sadly, as much as 80% of childhood cancer is diagnosed too late for treatment ~ or the treatment doesn’t exist. 90,000 children will die this year. . . #wemustdobetter Karson is one of the fortunate ones. He will carry the scars from his battle, but he is here; he is healthy. We are blessed. But what about all of the others? #howwillyouhelp? 99% of funds raised through Hope for Miracles will go directly to childhood cancer research ~ research for lifesaving cures and treatments. We appreciate your support.
Happy Valentine’s Day from this little cutie
