Children's Hospital Teddy Bear Give Away

Monday Dec 13



This morning I went to Connecticut Children’s Hospital for the William B. Meyer Teddy Bear Give-away. I walked around the hospital with my arms filled with teddy bears to give to the patients. Each smile lit up as I got on one knee to talk to each child… they were all so excited! At the end of the day, I was even lucky enough to see my friend Jillian Duffy, 13 years old, and recently diagnosed with cancer. I saved a special teddy bear for her.



And this is truly what the Holiday season is all about. It is about giving back to others- especially children, bringing hope and encouragement to those in the midst of difficult times, putting life in perspective to realize how lucky we all are to be living, and simply just putting a smile on the face of others. That is the greatest gift of all.

Tonight I had a mock interview in North Haven at the Prete’s home.
