Pancake Fundraiser Huge Success!

This is the story of my very own "Baby Cooper Pancake Breakfast." This is my Great Aunt Nancy Sartin (left), she had an idea. So she told my Great -Great Aunt Grace Hartzog. They talked to lots of people! Who talked to lots more people about me. And all of those people were so loving that when they heard about me that they decided to raise money to help my Mommy and Daddy with my hospital bills. And they did a lot of hard work. I am not sure what hard work is but I have been told that before my heart surgery I worked very hard to breathe. If it is anything like that well I am really impressed!

Now I do not know what a pancake is but they must be very valuable because by giving away free pancakes my family and friends raised $3750+ dollars for me!

I have not even met my "Adams" family yet but they show me so much love! You can see it on the faces of my Great-Great Aunts Nelle Schean(left) and Grace (right). Aunt Grace is really someone special because all of her good friends at First Baptist Concord have poured out tons of love and concern for me because of her great example; not to mention generously donating time, money and supplies.

Mommy and Daddy and I are overwhelmed with the love! I do not know about alot of things other 6 months old children know but I know love very well. It is what has keep me breathing when I was almost to tired to keep going.

My good friend at WATE Kristin Farley could not be at the breakfast but she asked Erica Estep to come as her reprentative. I have met Kristin several times and hope to meet Erica one day! That is Erica with my GrandmaRie (Donna Cooper) and Papa Z (Rick Cooper) and my beautiful Mommy (Emily Ogle)!

Thank you to all the sponsors! Wampler's Sausage, Fresh Market, Elm Hill, Weigels, Kroger, Food City, Rouser Corporation, and WATE Channel 6! I want to also mention my friends at White Star Market in Seymour who have raised over $300 since November by keeping a donation jar in the deli area. Thanks for the love! "Cooper"
