Happy Easter!!

Only Lauren could find a way to make a cow a part of Easter!
So, in her unique way, her Foundation delivered hundreds of Easter Eggs
with "MOO-lah" and "mun-CHEESE" inside to cheer
CheMOOtherapy patients at PCMC.

In May, one of Lauren's best friends, Brittany and her sister Shanna
will be making headscarves with their mom to donate to PCMC
and Huntsman Cancer Institute.

One loving group of women just donated two full carts of goods
to the parent break-room of ICS, toys, and a couple hundred dollars
for gas and prescription funds for Oncology families.

There's lots of different ways to be a part of
helping others wishes come true!

COWnt your many blessings

Ireland
St. Patrick's Day at our house was about green and leprechauns and pointing out that we were LUCKY to have each other. We ate green pancakes for breakfast and green cream cheese on bagels for lunch. We searched our ancestry for IRISH and found it, and most importantly, celebrated it! We had a lot of fun with typical and unique traditions each March 17.
But, most importantly, St. Patrick's Day signaled a reminder of what we 'TREASURE' and to COWnt our blessings and good fortunes. Giving thanks to the Giver was the very best part of the holiday. And, trying to share our blessings added sweetness.
This month, The Living Lauren's Legacy Foundation is focusing on sharing our blessings with one individual cancer patient in Texas. According to her friends, she's a "POT O' GOLD" whose friendship they treasure .....
May the Luck o' the Irish sprinkle down gratitude for all of your good fortunes and blessings, and may you just be lucky enough to have the experience of sharing your treasures.

"I UDDER-ly love MOO!"

(Lauren's book "I Udder-ly LOVE Moo!" has not yet been released but is still coming. Send a note if you are interested.)

Lauren's love for cows inspired 'MOO' perspective on holidays and every day. We tend to appreciate more if we try and see things the ways she did, and it permeates into everything we do.
Even more than her perspective, is the way her legacy of love has changed the way we see things. Love isn't nebulous or fleeting. It isn't conditional or timed. It isn't a simple emotion, it's an action - it's a way of living - and it's whole-hearted or it isn't love.
So, how fun to celebrate Valentine's in exactly the way Lauren preferred to do it - loving big and loving in action!! And, add the element of whimsy and it's entirely Lauren.
During one of Lauren's big battles, when eating and appetite were big challenges, Lauren had an evening where she actually felt like eating a hamburger from Wendy's. We were thrilled and rushed to make the purchase to bring it back home to her. What was really inspiring is that Lauren's thoughts were on the kids who were dealing with cancer and lack of appetite who didn't have the money for the purchase, or even a car to dash out to satisfy the craving. And, the reality is, ... she was right. Families come from all over the Western United States to be treated at PCMC and many are in Ronald McDonald houses, or renting tiny apartments without transportation. And, many still don't have the money to satisfy even the rarest of cravings.
In honor of Lauren's love for the other patients whom she wished could have what she had, her Foundation has donated valentines of Wendy's Bucks to the Hem-Onc Clinic of Primary Children's Medical Center in hopes that Lauren's unique perspective to say "I UDDER-ly LOVE MOO!" will bring some joy and satisfy a craving for families still dealing with the disease.

Happy Valentine's Day Lauren's way!!

Happy MOO Year!

Making a difference in Peru - July, 2009

I've been a little slow in posting MOO Years greetings Lauren's way ... but even though they are late, these greetings are heart felt.

Since Lauren focused wishes towards her favorite charities, we've kicked off the fun year from 11/11/11 to 12/12/12 with projects and donations scheduled to make contributions Lauren's way. We hope to make a bakers dozen difference in the "happily ever after" of many deserving causes.

As you may already know, on 11/11/11, the Living Lauren's Legacy Foundation donated Lauren's opportunity to have a wish granted back to the Make-A-Wish foundation of Utah. This included also becoming a sponsor to finance the wish of another teen-age girl with a life-threatening condition.

In December, donations were made to a few needy families to help spread Christmas cheer and hope and peace.

For the MOO Years, we teamed up with four of Lauren's friends who had a school assignment of a service project who chose to collect blankets, books, toys, and cash to donate in Lauren's name to donate to PCMC. The Foundation supported their project and added some of it's own. Thanks to Jessica, Janie, Sarah, and Claire (L to R in the photo) and all those who contributed to the success of their project.

Lauren's 3 books are still available ... with the other 2 still coming. Technical difficulties have delayed it, but the intentions are still in the process.
