WAM Cookie

"We've been on many visits to wish kid homes, but this has to be the first visit we've had to our home," Harry greeted us at the door with his familiar smile. It's been over six months, but I finally finished the all-encompassing DVD of Hannah and our family's Make A Wish trip to Give Kids the World and all the theme parks imaginable. As I finished the final burn, Kim took no time in announcing throughout the house, "We're going to Harry and Sharon's!"

Harry and Sharon are the two nicest people you would hope to never have pay you a visit (because that would mean that they were there for Make A Wish). However, meeting them in a different capacity is all together fine. While they train with 40-60 mile bike rides, I find walking down the steps on most mornings a bit slow. Harry and Sharon participate in WAM: Affectionately known by riders and volunteers as WAM, the Wish-A-Mile 300 is a three-day, 300-mile bicycle ride from Traverse City to Chelsea, Michigan to raise funds and awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan. We wish them the best of luck and the cushiest of seats.


Changing gears a bit. From the fitness test of WAM we shift to the sugary sweets of South State Street and Hannah's Cookies for Cancer Kids. "I'm ready to get started," Hannah's been informing us (by us, I refer to the baker, Kim). With her surgery behind us and one more visit to Mayo in July, she's hoping to sell some lemonade and cookies for the kids undergoing cancer treatments at Bronson. With our visit to Mayo in less than a week, I believe Hannah will begin her corner lot stand over the Venetian Festival weekend.
