We just returned home from a wonderful celebration at our local WalMart. Asher was introduced as Florida's CMN Champion and honored by the store's General Manager and our Mayor. We were also interviewed by our local television station who will run a story about Asher and CMN tonight and tomorrow.
The best part about the event was the opportunity to thank the associates from WalMart for their dedication to CMN. Now they have had a chance to meet Asher, their efforts to raise money through CMN balloons is even more real. They got a chance to hear exactly how all those balloons that paper the store have a direct impact on children right in their neighborhood.
I wasn't sure how Asher would react to all the attention. He has a tendency to shy away from a lot of noise and activity , but he took every bit of it in stride, like a true Champion! The store arranged a surprise visit from Mickey, Minnie, and Buzz Lightyear. Again, I wasn't sure how Asher would respond. He LOVED it! In fact, he was completely enamored with Minnie and he was a complete ham for all the pictures. I was glad to have a chance to see him in this kind of environment before next week's big events. His reaction was perfect and he really enjoyed the morning.
