MARCH MADNESS – SWEET SIXTEEN

Don’t worry if you missed the first round of March Madness for Carly… you are invited to take part in ROUND 2 – SWEET SIXTEEN. This is the Fourth Annual 2008 March Madness in of Carly Nancy McKay. Each year a men’s college basketball pool is put together to help raise money for the Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF.org) to help find a cure, and to have fun! This year, I’ve taken over the facilitation of this fundraiser. As most of you know, Carly, my niece (age 8), has a genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis (NF). She was diagnosed with NF at an early age, and has been fighting inoperable brain tumors since the age of 3. After 2 ½ years of weekly chemotherapy treatments, Carly’s tumors are stable and she is doing great!
