Go Bo! Cookies for a Cause

"Love each other, help each other, have your neighbor's back. If you see someone in need — even a stranger — reach out and help. The world can be a better place if we care and help each other."  -Bo Johnson, age 12

What wise words from a young man I wish I could have met!  I have a feeling we would have been kindred spirits.  Since I wasn't fortunate enough to know Bo, I do what I can to bring his message to others.  I made two sets of cookies for the Go Bo! Foundation Bake Sale, located in Door County, Wisconsin.

I chose cute cookie designs that were Halloween worthy, but not scary, as I had young children in mind.  I imagine their faces light up with shining eyes and big smiles when spotting their favorites out of thousands of cookies!  I am thrilled to make this small contribution to the sale to fund research on cancer and other related blood disorders, while sharing Bo's thoughts on life.  Please read Bo's story below, and follow this link Go Bo! Bake Sale Foundation to see many, many cookie artists from all around the world come together, led by Jill of Jill FCS.

Bo Johnson was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia, EM/AML, at the age of 12. He valiantly fought the disease, but lost the battle on September 28, 2012. Bo’s story does not end there, though. Bo had a mission, his message was simple ...

"Love each other, help each other, have your neighbor's back. If you see someone in need — even a stranger — reach out and help. The world can be a better place if we care and help each other."

The Go Bo! Foundation brings hope to children with life-threatening medical conditions by funding research, supporting treatment, and helping their families during times of financial need. The Go Bo! Foundation is Bo's gift to us. It's a way for each of us to use our talent to give back. It’s a community of people gathering together with a single mindset ... paying it forward.
