Make A Wish - Golf Tournament

Madison Fills in For Mia

Mia had been looking forward to speaking at the 

Isagenix #NYKO 2018 conference for weeks.

Unfortunately, Mia was overcome by the flu the day

before she was supposed to go on stage speaking.

We were mortified.

This had never happened before as we have been

fortunate enough to always make most of our events

illness free.

Madison, Mia's little sister, 11 years old, 

said that she would step in for her big sis.

Thank goodness for Madison because

I don't know why we would have done!

Sweet Madison woke up to the questions, 'Hey Madison...

I have the biggest favor...can you go on stage for Mia in

front of 5 thousand people??'

Sure!

Haha love you Madders.

Here she is in the green room before she went on stage.

Isagenx has raised $8.9 million for Make A Wish...

And has given away 938 wishes...AMAZING!

We are so sad that Mia couldn't be there, but the next best thing is 

Madders...who knew she could have a future in comedy??

Isagenix - Speaking Engagement

Mia should honestly be a motivational speaker.

Her story is so touching and she inspires so many different types of 

people and groups with her life.

Mia is thrilled to be given the opportunity with a speaking

engagement in front of 5-7 thousand people at the

New Year's Isagenix conference in Phoenix in January.

We can't wait to raise awareness of Be The Match and Mia will

be representing as a make a wish kid as well.

Yep.

Funny because Mia is one of THEE most thankful people in the world.

We love Arizona for keeping Mia alive!!

Wish Week at Hamilton

Mia was the Make A Wish Kid at her school...

how fun, just don't drop the wish kid!!

The school's (Hamilton and Chandler High ) had a competition

and raised a ton of money for Wish kids like Mia.

Make A Wish - Golf Tournament

Mia walked down the red carpet at The Boulder's Golf

Course benefitting Make A Wish AZ!

You look good on the red carpet Mia!

Make A Wish needed a 'Wish Dad' who could golf...

(Well, at least TRY and golf.)

With only 2 days notice we though it would be a fun event.

We love helping out Make A Wish Arizona -

They are AWESOME!

Mia high fived the golfers as they made their way to the course..

it was a fun morning helping out Make A Wish for future wish 

families, we are so happy to help because we know first

hand how amazing our wish trip was.

Make A Wish - AZ Concours D'Elegance

Mia had such a FUN time at the Biltmore in Scottsdale 

to help judge cars as a fundraiser for Make A Wish Arizona.

All the wish kids had a blast...and even got to walk the red carpet.

What cute wish kids!

Mia with her new friends Priscilla and Ivy - so sweet!

One of Mia's favorite cars was this Ferrari!!

Here she is judging it earlier in the day...

The owners let her sit in it...

There's Luke showing her how to drive it...

Be Careful now because she will take this car on a road trip!

This Ferrari won a double award and Mia was asked if she could ride in it

down the red carpet...yes please!

She rode with the owners son Connor.

You can just see her curls sitting shotgun, how FUN!

What a great memory for Miss Mia!

Accepting the award...Mia and Connor.

Connor is the son of Kevin, see below.

There's a reason we met them.

Here is a neat story, so of ALL the cars and people there...

Mia loved Kevin's Ferrari, he is the owner of the car. 

It turns out, he is a bone marrow donor!

He donated his stem cells to his sister about 10 years ago

as she went under a transplant.

She is doing great now!!

What hope that gives us for Miss Mia.

(We are still waiting by the way to see if she has a match!)

Mia and all the wish kids had a fun morning judging the cars.

Below are just fun pics from throughout the day.

This car was made in 1909!

The owner drives it to the grocery store all the time.

This is the only time I'll let you drive Mia!

For you Grannie!

Moms color!

Mia loved the red interior of this car.

This was a unique fun car to look at:

Mclaren P1

It goes 217 MPH.

Mia said she could be in Cali in 2 hours...to go to the Beach!

This Bugatti was insured for 31 million...yikes!

Don't scratch it.

We found a GB flag!

Thank you Make A Wish ... it was a fun day and we are so happy

that you raised $100,000. for future wishes for kids like me!
