What a luncheon! I was honored to be invited to Illini Hospital to talk with the auxillary group that supports the facility. This group of dedicated women raise thousands each year to help buy new equipment and support the hospital in a variety of ways.
We got the chance to talk about Willie's Wagon and the incredible show of community support that has resulted from its introduction.
After the presentation, many left with two or three signed books for children, grandchildren or even for themselves. They give in so many ways. Hats off to you for your work!

Hi Gary,
My name is Melissa Wagner and my 11year old son was dianosed with Acute Myleoid Leukemia Subtype M6 Arm A, a very rare and difficult to treat leukemia that very few kids get, in July of this year. He just finished reading Willie's Wagon and TRULY loved it!! He has asked that buy the follow up, which I will do after I finish this post! My son is truly special and is handling his dianosis and treatment like a champ. He doesnt often complain, tries to find ways to help others and is trying hard to remain positive.
I just wanted to let you know how much he enjoyed the book and I am sure that he will enjoy the sequel just as much. We would love to help out in any way we can. So, if you need anything while doing your book tours and such, please let us know. You can reach me at momoftwo9702@yahoo.com or just read about our story at www.carepages.com code name JungleKid (no space and caps for J and K).
Thank you!
Melissa Wagner
