Cerebral Palsy...
This is the first year Cincinnati has had a Reaching For the Stars chapter for Cerebral Palsy! This group is very active in creating awareness for this disability and wants you to participate in an effort to show support for people who live with Cerebral Palsy- whether it be someone you know, knew or see when you're out somewhere/ wondering who they are.
Our group is sponsoring a LOGO LICENSE PLATES campaign whereby friends and family can help show support and actually provide support all together! Simply sign up to commit to purchasing your next set of vehicle license plates from BMV with CEREBRAL PALSY at the bottom and it will cost you $25.00 extra for these logo plates(Most logo plates are $35.00 but we wanted families already strapped for cash to be able to afford this).Sign up by calling Pam Frank at (513) 385-6850 or e-mail her pam@frankbci.com. There will be an opportunity to sign up on Fountain Square on Oct. 30th 11:00-2:00. You will need your vehicle license number and your driver's license number for the sign-up. Deadline is tentatively set at Thanksgiving as we need to collect 1000 signatures to make this happen. Please tell your friends and family- it's a great way to make a family feel supported. Every time they see your vehicle they will feel a hug!

Hamblin Halloween Benefit Dance...
Hamblin Halloween Benefit Dance
Saturday November 1, 2008
Sharonville V.F.W. Post 4369
3318 E. Sharon Road Sharonville, Ohio 45241
7pm-12midnight
$10.00 Donation per Person
Today a Sharonville family faces a life and death battle with Cystic Fibrosis. This debilitating disease shortens the life of its patients, on a day-by-day basis, as fluid fills the lungs and slowly asphyxiates the victim. Luckily, Cystic Fibrosis patients now have medical hope through technological breakthroughs using lung organ transplantation. Lungs from an organ donor are used to give the ultimate gift of life to a patient in need.
James Hamblin, age 38, of Sharonville, Ohio, has suffered all his life with Cystic Fibrosis. Despite his medical challenges and lengthy hospitalizations, he has worked full time for sixteen years at the Lodge Care Center, a skilled nursing facility in Loveland, Ohio. James has enjoyed cooking for the over one hundred and thirty residents and employees until this year, when on his birthday in February, James got sick and had to be off work over four months. He realized his disease was getting worse and that’s when his doctor suggested the double lung transplant.
James was evaluated by medical experts at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio and is considered an excellent candidate for a double lung transplant. While the option is truly a miracle of modern science, its medical costs are extremely high due to the complexity of the procedure and the extensive pre and postoperative care. Unfortunately James’s insurance does not cover the full extent of transplanted related expenses. This leaves James and his new wife, Amy, on a daily roller coaster ride consisting of hope and uncertainty.
James lost his older brother Ron Hamblin to Cystic Fibrosis in January 2008. Ron had decided to be placed on the list for the double lung transplant but it was too late. Ron’s body could not fight the cystic disease anymore and he went on to a better place. We miss Ron dearly and we do not want to lose James to this awful disease. If you could see with your own eyes the agony Cystic Fibrosis has wrought to the Hamblin family, it would deeply affect your desire to help.
The Hamblin family cannot face this challenge alone. As compassionate family members, friends, neighbors and concerned citizens, we are asking you to help raise money so that James can pursue this medical miracle of life. We are having a Halloween Benefit Dance to raise money for James’s new lungs. We are asking for any donations you can make to raffle off at the dance. Also donations can be made at any US Bank into the “Cure 4 James” account. Every little bit helps.
Please find it in your heart to help give the gift of life. Thank you for your compassion, and please keep James in your prayers.
With sincere gratitude,
The Family and Friends of James Hamblin
