Let's fill that boot again!

What a day!

Another day with Fill the Boot turned out to be pretty awesome! It was a pretty busy day for the firefighters of Firehouse 58! They worked pretty hard. I had a ton of fun and even though I am fighting to keep my eyelids open at this point, it was all truly rewarding!

If you ever get a chance to volunteer with this program you will never regret it!


How could you say no to a face like that?

I hope that all the events I'm involved with over the next year have volunteers that have the energy of the men and women of the LAFD and the people of the MDA. I could not have asked for a more awesome Wednesday.

Even though Channel 4 Weather said it was going to be col with off-and-on showers, it turned out to be a pretty sunny day, much to the dismay of everyone involved. I got a pretty nice sunburn, even though I was using sunscreen.

Special thanks to Soda Pops (http://sodapopsla.com/) and Domino's (http://dominos.com/) for providing sustenance for all those involved today!

I have to repeat this from Monday's post:
I'd like to thank the MDA (specifically Whitney M. of MDA Los Angeles for coordinating this and setting me up with today). To learn more about the MDA and how you can help please visit:

As you may now be aware this was only a three day event, however keep an eye out for anything else that may come up to support the MDA. If you can please get involved! YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT! Visit the sites and see if there are any upcoming and local events near you.

Well, tomorrow is my shadow session with Reading Partners LA. Time for bed.
