To PN: Edward Hospital responded to my hospital report. They took my picture and took a report. Guess they will use it in some of their publications. Thanks to you!

Shining purple across North America, #Leak Weak 2018 runs March 4-10, 2018
To PN: It is Leak Awareness week across North America. Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support for Colleen Tyrrell Llacsa and her family. Currently, there is no cure for Colleen but palliative care medicine is helping her to maintain a quality of life these past few weeks. It has been a blessing to see her up and about.
We will never give up hope for a cure for Colleen and others who suffer from this debilitating illness. The Tyrrell Family Foundation was started to continue to raise awareness and support efforts for education and research in the medical field. We started this blog for you to keep up with Colleen’s story and our efforts.

Associate Director of Marketing & Communications, Loaves and Fishes Community Services (Photographer, too!)
Editor’s Note: It’s likely volunteers at Loaves & Fishes were reading about the famously fun 63rd annual Evening Kiwanis Pancake Festival on March 17 or the inaurgural Naperville Chef Showdown slated for April 11!

Cheers!
Former resident appreciates Ride Assist Naperville a.k.a RAN
I no longer live in the Naperville area, but as my mother ages (95) and becomes more physically needy, I am so appreciative of this great idea! I love the spirit of giving that is evidenced by the amount of volunteering needed to see this program succeed. Kudos to all of you!
