Contest Winners!

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Maggie Amin and her friend Michelle Butzine on winning two $300 gift certificates.  Here is Maggie's winning entry:

I would love to give the second gift certificate to Michelle Butzine.  She is a married mom of two small kids.  A 3-year-old girl, Ella, and an 18-month-old boy, Anderson.  Last February 27, Anderson was diagnosed with a rare and usually fatal brain tumor, called an ependymoma.  He was 7 months old and given a 2% chance of survival.  He is now 18-months old and thriving.  His tumor is going down (unexpectedly) -- which is such a joy.

The family has been through so much, and has sacrified so much, that I believe that this family would be a great choice for the gift certificate.  The family lives here in Oconomowoc and I met Michelle when we did pre-natal swimming when we were pregnant with our first kids.

Here is their link so you can read all about them:

Please consider this family,

Maggie
