Please help spread the word for a good cause. This is for LARD's founder Leon and his precious baby, Avy Cheng. Avy is diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Docs say she had an in-utero stroke. Our local dragon boat community is pulling for her and you can help, too!

On behalf of the Dragon Boat Community, please spare a few minutes and click on Leon's family's wish....thanks everyone.

Me & My Girl.

I Dream to Dance with My Daughter
By:LCnine From:Los Angeles, CA

Posted: July 27, 2011

 I dream of dancing with my daughter. Whether it be at her wedding (which is a more concrete and reoccuring dream) or any occasion that celebrates the general thought.
You see, my beautiful girl, now one, came into this world full of challenges. Doctor's say she had an in-utero stroke. She is hearing and vision impaired, and diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Some things have changed - what we thought it would be like to be parents, the journey of raising a child. But the dreams haven't. For my wife and I, she is our first, and she is everything we ever wanted.
For now, I carry her. And we dance to music, practicing for our big moment in the future.



Share your dream to win.

Comment from Leon:

Leon Cheng

http://www.facebook.com/update_security_info.php?wizard=1#!/LCheng9#

Dear Friends, Family and Extended Family,

Your generous support is heartening and overwhelming. I wanted to share with all of you a couple of notes and comments I had written to some of you; after all, it’s probably the most appropriate here. I originally wrote the note, the dream, not with any intention to win a contest. Wynne and I truly believe in the power of a wish, of prayer, of dreams, an...d of hope. We know that the support and well-wishes we’ve received up to this point have impacted remarkable improvements for our baby girl. When I received the mass mail from Upromise to ā€œshare my dreamā€, I thought it was an opportunity to get a positive thought ā€˜out there’ on behalf of Avy. And it was a personal dream that, up until writing it, I had kept to myself; I was excited to show Wynne. After all, each night, Avy seem to find comfort in gently swaying to music with me, and I would find time in my own thoughts about her future.

The Dragon Boat Community is alive and strong. When I posted this topic this afternoon. The Baby Avy count was around 3600...this evening, we are now at 4004 count.

I'm so astonished by the love and support we have for each other.

I know on the start line, we want to kick each other's butt...but when off the water, we are one big family, regardless of team, city and/or country.

Hi Thumbs up Dance for all of you...           

As of Sunday August 7th 2:30am, Baby Avy has 4720 votes. Don't stop, every vote will make a difference for Baby Avy.

Ok. Kiley is starting to make an aggressive move on Baby Avy. Kiley started slow but has been able to overtake Garrett very easily for second most votes. So, if you haven't voted for Baby Avy, please do.

There is $10k on the line. Our dragon boat community is big enough and if we keep pitching in with votes , Baby Avy and family will have xtra finances to get the best care possible.

Vote now, tomorrow and the day after.

now, don't get me wrong here...little Kiley is very adorable and probably deserves the money too...

However, I'm here to support our Dragon Boat Family and Baby Avy

About a week ago, Baby Avy was in a clear lead with an extra 2,000 votes...it look like she was in the clear lead. Now Little Kiley has closed the gap and is only 868 votes off..

So, if we all voted each day and kept the margin in around 1500 votes...Baby Avy and Family will be ever thankful.

Please take a few minutes each day and just click Yes, you like this dream...
