Meet The Fish Family…

February 17, 2012 Leave a Comment

Hello lovelies, as you know by now I’ve been working on a project to go along with my “Get Inspired series”. I have been keeping it a secret but, tonight I’m going to share a little bit about it , I promise I will post the rest soon…

But for now I want you to Meet the Fish Family:

We are the Fishes. In 2011 two of our five children; Natalie and Alice were diagnosed with a rare gene disfunction called Leaky SCID (Severe Combined Immune Deficiency). Their condition is so rare that only two cases are reported in the U.S. each year. Both girls have endured much, and have spent most of their young lives in and out of hospitals due to common illnesess a healthy immune system would overcome. The required treatment for our girls is a bone marrow transplant.

Both are currently at Primary Children’s Hospital undergoing Chemotherapy to prepare them for their transplants. Although the new marrow could mean a normal life for them, it will be a long and arduous road. This blog is to share our experience as parents and the courage of our children.

Alice age 2

Natalie age 8

About my Project: I’m working on my “Get Inspired Project“, where I get to interview inspiring people… When the month is over I’ll be able to cross number 96 of my list. That means I need to help with something amazing . Thats where the “Fish Family” comes in. After reading their story, my heart was full and I felt like I needed to help these sweet girls. There are alot of people helping out with this wonderful cause… But, I feel like it is not enough just yet. Ali Eisenach being one of them, She is the owner of Lemon Poppy Inc and she is working on an amazing recipe book that comes out soon and I’m so excited that I get to share a recipe in it along with a couple of other bloggers. Half of the proceeds wil go to the Fish Family.

Now, for my Project idea… I’m currently organizing an event here in Utah {an auction to be exact}. It will involve dinner and the silent auction and all of the proceeds will go to the Fish Family. I’ll be working on special projects for this but I would love to feauture your company in this auction. Anything helps and It would be awesome if you participated. I will post more details about it soon , But for now please go check out the “Fish Family Blog” to read more about the girls.
