Eddie's Fund: June 2011

About Eddie's Fund

In 2006, our 10-year-old son had a bone marrow transplant. While recovering in isolation at home, he determined to do something to help a bone marrow transplant family we had met while in the hospital. Something to help his new friend, Eddie. We started Eddie's Fund that week, and seven years later, as Eddie continues his post-transplant recovery and waits for a double lung transplant, our family of five continues to raise funds for Eddie and his family. 100% of all donations to the Fund are paid directly to bill companies to help Eddie's family financially manage the intensity of Eddie's recovery. On behalf of Eddie and his family, we thank you for offering hope and help and joining with us to support our buddy, Eddie.

thank you!

Dear Supporters of Eddie's Fund,

On behalf of Eddie and his mom, we want to THANK all of you who came out for our Fuddrucker's event last week!

We believe we raised over $700 in one evening (final numbers are still pending from Fuddruckers)! Thank you for such a show of support!

Most importantly, the evening marked the first time Eddie has ever been able to appear at one of his own fundraisers. We were THRILLED to see him out of the house and hospital, and could tell that he was deeply excited about the many of you who came out to show your love and support for his recovery process.

On behalf of Eddie's Fund, we thank you for your kindness to an amazing family.

The Winchell family
