Yesterday Immy, Maddy and AJ’s high school had Team Ivy day.

The kids all gave a gold coin donation to wear street clothes.

The response was amazing, many of them dressing as fairies and princesses (Ivy’s favourite things) on what turned out to be the coldest day of the year so far.

It was a wonderful day and rather than trying to explain to you how one school came together to raise well over $2000 for Team Ivy and what that means to me, I’m just going to show you

in photos.

This day was amazing and a very physical show of how one community can help someone but I know that out there in the internet, I have an important family too – one who has helped us to reach $5000, one, who don’t really know me in the physical sense but who mean the world to me. If I could get you all together in the same room, I would hug you all until my arms were numb (and I would most definitely be youtubing the lot).
