Who is this Motley Crew?
They are the ring leaders of the Renaissance ELOB, Caps for Cancer fundraiser.
After hearing about the cool kids at Byers Elementary School and their mad fundraising skills, (THANKS BYERS!!!) Spencer and Axel decided to take this great idea to their school.
On the last day of classes, our Renaissance family raised $756.74 for the families on the 7th floor at
The Children’s Hospital. We will be delivering gift cards for the hospital cafeteria, in hopes of filling the bellies and weary souls of dads and moms, brothers and sisters, and of course, the kiddos fighting cancer.
I’m so proud of these kids and the generosity of our community. A thousand thanks to all my girls for helping out. Renaissance Rocks!
Here is another Awesome opportunity to help out the Children’s Hospital Oncology floor in Tuesday’s honor. Check out Miles For Tuesday. The Oncology floor is always filled to capacity. New children diagnosed all the time. Children still in the fight, recently relapsed and, occasionally, thank God, finishing up their last week of treatment. (YEA ELLIE!!!!!!!!!!) They need our help.
Bill and Jen, we can’t thank you enough. Charley works for the greatest people and the greatest company around. We love you guys!
Our little girl continues to inspire people for the greater good. What an honor. Man, I miss her.
Way to go! So amazing to see your kids (and you) making such good out of your amazing Tuesday's life! What a blessing you are….we will never forget her!
Praying for you still, and blessed by your updates. Thank you!
Thinking of Tuesday with you.
Wow, what an awesome post. I'm so glad to read about the big hearts of those kids and all involved.
Can't wait to see what Miles for Tuesday is all about –
link isn't active.
So proud of those marvelous and creative
Super Grandsons!
How are those tadpoles?
Hugs from Grammy!
"Tuesday afternoon.
I'm just beginning to see,
Now I'm on my way.
It doesn't matter to me,
Chasing the clouds away. "
That is just awesome!
No wonder you weren't able to call me back today…clearly you were BUSY! 😉
It's amazing that even little kids can do so much to make a difference in the world. AWESOME!
Of course Tuesday still continues to inspire. i can't imagine that to ever stop. not ever!
Love you Jess!

How very cool! You must be so proud of them!!! My 4 year old daughter always quotes a line from a Barbie Thumbalina movie (of all things!)"Even the smallest people can make a big difference". I'd say that is true of your sweet son's and of your sweet Tuesday. She continues to inspire and change this world, one person at a time… I know she has for me. Not a day goes by that I do not think of her and thank God that he blessed this earth with her… Love to you and your family…
I can pick out your members of the crew from a mile away. CUTE!
Tuesday's in our hearts forever.
Love ya,
t and L
That's awesome what they were able to do. The teaming up for a marathon and having donations go to the hospital is a great idea! Much love.
Gift cards for the hospital cafetetia for families of sick kids – what a great idea! I'm storing that one up for the next time someone at church says "Who will we fundraise for this time?" In Australia the cancer council recently had Australia's Biggest Morning Tea. Hosts register and then send out invitations to anyone and everyone to come and have a cuppa and make a donation. It grows bigger every year because it is so much fun while doing something worthwhile.
WOOHOO! Congrats on raising the money! You guys have been buys little bees! Tuesday's life has touched so many and amazingly continues to do so! What a special little girl! I feel so honored to have know her! Love you, miss you! (((hugs)))
Miles for Tuesday looks great! I hope it is a huge success and you exceed your goal!
Way to go Whitt boys! And, I love this Miles for Tuesday idea. I'll talk to Dawn this week, so you can count us in.
what great kids and what an awesome community you have there….
that little girl of yours is still working her magic……
God bless you guys….
thinking of sweet little Tuesday today and everyday <3

That's amazing…our kids are our future. I love your blog!
Inspiration is right. What an amazing impact she – and you – have made on the world.
Terrific idea! Those kids are awesome, truth be told, if we give our children the opportunity to help, they ALWAYS shine!!! Tuesday will continue to be inspiration for many, many people!
Awesome!
That rocks! What a great group of kids. I love the idea of something good (like free full bellies) happening in the lives of people with so much hurt and stress.
(You rock too)
Wow! Kids are so amazing! They have such loving and giving hearts when they are touched by something special. Tuesday is such a driving force for many people. she has brought out awareness in my children's eyes. I've been going to Children's a lot lately. Thank goodness it is not for something cancer related. Each time I go there, I think of Tuesday and children like her. I want so badly to do something for the children and families that are enduring this awful disease. Your children are an inspiration! I'll have to look into Hats For Cancer and learn more about this cause.
Bless you. Sending you and your family a Mile-Wide hug!
It always amazes me when people turn their own grief towards helping others. It's a beautiful thing you're doing! Your daughter blessed and affected a lot of people in her short life. So did you and Charley by sharing her. Thank you.
Watching others sharing their children's stories on a St. Jude telethon 17 years ago, inspired me to become a Partner in Hope and I still am. When my husband was faced with losing a 28 year long job, we cut out cable and other non-necessities. St. Jude was one of two things we agreed we would NOT cut out, that and Compassion. We felt strongly that we couldn't let those children and parents down. Less than one year after I made that St. Jude pledge, my 16 month old had a bone marrow biopsy testing for leukemia. Thank God it wasn't, it was a different blood disorder, but if it had been cancer I'm thankful I would have had somewhere to take her. God bless you, Charley, and your other babies.
Way to go!!! Truly amazing!
That definitely rocks! Way to go!!! Tuesday, you have been a busy girl since you've been away. Work your magic, baby girl. Love you Whitts!! xoxox Bre & fam
How touching! Great job boys! Tuesday will be touching so many lives forever. It is truly amazing.
Hugs to all! ~Erin
So happy you are finding a good outlet and great people to help you! What a great boss Charley has. Tuesday has inspired so many:)
What an awesome group.
Way to go Axel and Spencer, your sister will continue to inspire you over the years to come. You are making her proud and she'll be watching you and smiling.
What a wonderful thing to do!
So thankful for the assurance we have in Christ! Praying!

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

Way to go boys ( you too Piper)! I know Tuesday is looking down on you and smiling because of the wonderful events and blessing being done in her name. We are so proud of all of you.We love all of you and can't wait to see you. Are all of you going to be a part of Miles for Tuesday? Will you be walking? Tuesday was a small person in stature but had a heart as big as the world…she touched so many and continues to touch us all. We miss her so very much.
Love, Aunt SuSu and Uncle Jim
I stumbled across your blog from another blog and once I began reading, I couldn't stop. I almost feel intrusive as I read through your words of pain. I'm a mother of 3 so while I don't truly know your pain, I can certainly understand it. I will pray that God makes each day just a little easier for you and your fam to get through. Thank you for sharing this beautifully painful life of yours and for sharing Tuesday with the rest of us. She is unbelievably beautiful, as are the rest of your children. I am so moved by your words and I don't think I will ever be the same. Again, thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.
ps. I think God hurts along with you too but I do believe Tuesday is right there with Him, holding His hand as they gaze down upon your family with loving eyes
This post makes me smile! Your kids are awesome! Tuesday will continue touch lives forever! Still praying.
Just thinking of you and sending prayers tonight. Wishing a peaceful night of sleep and renewed strength tomorrow.
Very cool! Tuesday has inspired many, and will continue to do so!
Great minds must think alike – we are hoping to be able to take gas cards up to the Oncology floor from some of our fundraising efforts this year!! Amazing how these things (food and gas) really help out the families that are there – unfortunately, we both know that first hand!! It's so cool that you are continuing to press forward in Tuesdays name – and what an awesome fundraiser!!
Still praying, still loving and missing you and still sending hugs to you!!

That is so amazing! I love those kiddos of yours! Miles for Tuesday sounds GREAT!
What a wonderful way to honor Tuesday. You must be so proud of your boys, what sweet souls they are!
Miles for Tuesday looks great too!
Know that your family is always in my thoughts and prayers!
Psalms 18:28-30 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

That is so cool JK!
I'm so happy to hear that it was a success at REMS! I was honored to be part of it (even though I forgot my hat).
Thankful that I can be here praying for you.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.

you are on my mind tonight… i have just been going through your blog, looking at pictures of your sweet Tuesday, reading your words and crying… It breaks my heart every time I think of her to know she is not with you…
She is loved by so many and I bet she is doing great, great things over in heaven with her angel friends…
Know that I'm continuing to pray here in Seattle!
His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
