Flight to St. Louis in Honor and Memory of our Angel Eli (CLOSE TO HALF A MILLION DOLLARS)

Family and friends,  We wanted to take a moment and thank all of you for supporting the Eli Seth Matthews Leukemia Foundation, Inc. in honor and memory of our Brave Eli….    Eli’s big brother Austin and I(Paul) will be heading to St. Louis, Missouri on September 30, 2011. We will meet with Dr. Todd Druley, M.D., Ph.D.  Dr. Druley  will give us a tour of the hospital and will share some recent results with us. The money that has been raised ( $35,687.65)  will be donated to his research to find a CURE!    Dr. Druley is also an “A” Award recipient of the Alex’s Lemonade Stand foundation as well.  We were ask if we could take a check for $375,000.00 from the Alex’s Foundation when we meet Dr. Druley.  Well my answer was a big yes!  This is Eli’s STAND! This trip is in Eli’s memory and honor and it’s Liz Scotts honor to do this for Eli as “we bELIeve in a cure”  so now with close to a HALF MILLION DOLLARS we make a STAND! against childhood cancer.   Special thanks to Oxford Area High School , Bill Hammond’s Martial Arts, Robinson’s Furniture, RK Environmental Services, Our Children Making Change, Oxford Auto & Tire, and everyone that held an Eli & Alex’s Lemonade Event, or stopped by and supported one of our event’s in Eli’s memory.  Please continue to help us win this war!  No child should ever be told by their Mom and Dad that they have Leukemia (Cancer).  We will not stop until a cure is found, because Eli would want us to carry on this fight to find a cure, even though he cannot be here to do so.
