Rob and I would like to thank everyone for their letters and gifts that Melody has been getting. It's nice to see her smile and get so happy to see she has mail. She looks forward to checking the mail everyday!
A special thanks to the Full Gospel Country Church for their generous gift. We were touched by your kindness and love. We would also like to thank Morris and Lois along with anyone else who is involved in all the hard work they are doing to organize a fundraiser for Melody. It means a lot to us that you are doing this for our little girl.
Rob and I are touched by all the support and love Melody is receiving. We will never be able to express what it means to us. Thank You just doesn't seem like enough but when we say it I promise it is coming straight from our hearts with as much love as we can give. "Thank You"
The more, the merrier!
Melody is now 15 years old. She is still being followed at the IWK Children's Hospital in Nova Scotia. Melody has been very strong through all this and we are very proud of her. Below is the original write up for Melody's story and the concept for this blog.
Melody is just 6 years old and has recently been diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis; a rare disease that only 1 to 3 children per million a year are diagnosed with. She is currently undergoing a great deal of testing at a children's hospital to determine the extent of the disease and how it will be treated. This disease comes with plenty of pain and limits Melody's ability to do a lot of the things children her age enjoy.
Seeing that this disease cannot be cured, only treated, Melody has a long road ahead of her. Her family would give anything to make this road a little brighter for their special girl. This is where you come in! We all know how exciting it is to get a handwritten letter or card in the mailbox, so we thought it would be fun for Melody to look forward to getting some mail of her own. She has a map of the world on her wall and puts a little sticker on every place she receives a letter from.
If you'd like to send along some sunshine, please send it to the following address:

Thank you so much for taking the time to participate. Your thoughtfulness is deeply appreciated! We will continue to update this blog with Melody's progress, so feel free to come back anytime.

Hi Robby, Amy, Melody and Spencer... I'm glad to hear that your last trip down finished without any major concerns. The summer job I got this year was to work with CBDC Chaleur, and I'm in charge of the summer camps. Just wanted to let you know that the kids from our summer youth entrepreneuship camp has all wriiten a letter or card for Melody. They were all touched by the story I told them and we all viewed your web site in class. Hope it puts a big smile on her face and there will be more coming from the next group of kids next week... :)
Melody got your letters and she loved them! We sat down together and read each one. She was so happy to receive so many at once. Thank you, it was very thoughtful of you and the kids. It really did put a big smile on her face!
