“I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Northwestern Mutual Foundation. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating #MC .”

Meet Jaycee & Mollie.  These two little girls have been on my heart for the last couple of years.

We know Jaycee because her Dad & my husband were in the Air Force together.  Jaycee has been fighting cancer for the past year and has been through quite a battle.  She’s such a sweet little girl and she’s not able to do so many things a lot of kids her age are able to do.  Jaycee is not out of the woods yet, & prayers are always appreciated.  Read more about Jaycee’s journey HERE.

Mollie is a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart.  Mollie is raised by her grandparents who are very special to my family.  Her Grandpa is a preacher.  He married Terence and I & he also baptized me, my sister, and my Dad.  Mollie was diagnosed a few years ago with cancer that stemmed from her leg.  She went through a long treatment process that ultimately ended in her leg being amputated.  Mollie has the sweetest spirit and is a great artist 🙂 Read more about Mollie HERE.

These two girls are heroes.  So are their Moms and families.

From now until May 13 Northwestern Mutual is rallying sons, daughters and those who want to honor their own “heroic” moms or mother figures by uploading images of them to Twitter, Instagram and/or Facebook with the hashtag #myheromom.

For each social action (image upload, Facebook share and like, tweet and retweet) generated by consumers, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation will donate $5 to its nonprofit partner, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), up to $50,000 for childhood cancer research. This is a great cause you guys!
