The Ronan Thompson Foundation

Elle va lui rendre visite assez souvent si j'ai bien compris. Même dans le dernier article posté ce 3 mai, la maman raconte que Charisma va passer le voir dans les jours prochains ^^


Des petits messages à son sujet :

Citation :

My friend, Charisma Lee Carpenter, flew out to Toronto today to help raise awareness for Ronan and childhood cancer. There is going to be a ton of press there and she is so excited to be helping to raise awareness at the Rally for Kids with cancer. I am in awe of her and how proactive she is being. TRUE friendship has no limits or boundaries and she would go to the end of the earth for us. I am so thankful to have her in my life. She is also another one of those angels walking around on earth. Not to mention one of the kindest souls I have ever met.

My friend, Charisma, got back from Toronto today. She sent me a really beautiful email about her experience and I wanted to share. Instead of blogging a bunch tonight, I thought I would share a couple of things. Here is a little bit of what Charisma experienced.

Maya,
I thought this trip to fundraise would be so heart breaking and sad- which was ok, I was ready for it. But you’re never ready to see kids fight so hard for their right to live. However, they inspired me so much!

A Dr. spoke at the gala dinner last night. He’s a Doctor from “Sickkids Hospital” in Toronto.
He said fund-raising equals life. (- whoa! ) He also said, “There is a cure.” There are new drugs out there to develop that can trick cancer cells from multiplying by getting the cancer cell to kill itself. 5 of his former patients are either; in residency, the lab or med school. By the time these kids finish school, there will be a cure. “This time” he said, ” it’s personal”
The beauty of the story is, kids weren’t surviving before. In the 80′s (?)there was a 5 percent survival rate for pediatric cancer patients. Now its 80 percent due to funding and awareness. There is HOPE! A little girl shared her story her survival of cancer. She said when my grandpa was in med school and if I had been diagnosed then, I would have died. But now, I live to see another day. ( Her grandpa discovered her illness) uh! So brave! So clear , so inspiring. And she’s not even 13 yet.

I know Ronan will make it! I just am sure of it. He will win and he will have changed lives by just being him. A fighter! A spunky little man with just the right amount of angel to stare cancer down!
I talk about Ronan to everyone I can. I talk about his bright eyes. I was on the plane home with Robin Antin from the Pussy Cat Dolls I told her to tweet about you and send her peeps to your blog. Hopefully she’ll do it. Other pediatric cancer patients are lucky a child with such a face has cancer. Unfortunately or fortunately, he will motivate more people to do more and give more because of his good looks. -And that’s ok. Its more meaningful to be the poster child for pediatric Cancer than the Gap. Yes? ( Not that you asked for that, Maya. No one wants their kid to be ill. – I hope you can see the silver lining in what I’m trying to articulate, a bit poorly.)
None the less, I read your blog every day, every post. I want to buy a Tee! A few! Do you have any left?
That’s all. Love to you!
Charisma


Charisma is inspired, and moved, and is getting her wake up call in life. She now knows helping with childhood cancer awareness is something that she is going to be part of, for the rest of her life. She knows this because she looks at her beautiful little boy, Donovan, and knows it can happen to anyone. There needs to be more funding, more hope, and a cure. Charisma loves Ronan and loves us and is part of our army of angels. I know she hugs Donovan a little more tightly at night and I am so glad I can give her that gift. Even through all of my pain, it is worth it to me.

I talked to Charisma today for quite a while. It was so moving to hear her voice and listen to her talk about her experience with the Rally for a Cure. She had the most beautiful things to say about the kids who were there, about how it made her feel, how Ronan is going to be fine, and how she is going to work to make a difference. She said she always had it in the back of her mind to use her celebrity status for charity purposes…. but she never really had something she was super passionate about; until now. There was a reason that she didn’t just pick a charity… it is because Ronan was going to need her all along. I was going to need her all along. I think that is very telling of the kind of person she is. Any celebrity can put their name on something… it makes them look good. Charisma is the kind of person who does good things when nobody is looking.

My angel, Charisma, is flying in this weekend for a quick visit even though she is bombarded with auditions. YAY FOR THAT!!!! Both her coming, and the auditions that are coming her way. I cannot wait to see her and am so grateful that she knows how much it means to me to see her.

Bon, moi du coup, le blog m'a foutu les larmes aux yeux, surtout que le petit va de plus en plus mal... Quand tu vois la mère raconter qu'elle a dû parler avec son mari d'un possible service funéraire, bah franchement, ça fait mal...

Purée ça me fait trop mal au cœur, c'est horrible...

C'est quand même beau de voir que les parents se battent malgré tout. Le fait que Charisma soit aussi impliquée, ça montre qu'elle n'est pas qu'une actrice, c'est avant tout une femme généreuse, et qui semble être bien loin de l'apparence superficielle que lui donnent toutes les séries dans lesquelles elle a joué.

Citation :

“Everything happens for a reason.You were given this because you were strong enough to handle this. God has a greater plan for your child. Your child wants to go home, where he belongs in Heaven, so just let him go. At least you had as long as you did with her and you have other grandchildren, at least you can be grateful for that. You’ll be a better, stronger person because of all of this. ”

Je trouve ce commentaire particulièrement immonde. La femme serait devant moi, je la prendrais à coups de pieds.

Ronan est décédé il y a quelques heures... Je dois dire que ça m'a carrément fait pleurer. Je suis tellement triste pour lui...

Ronan has gained his angel wings. Our hearts are heavy. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. http://rockstarronan.com/

J'ai lu le post sur le blog et... C'est un exemple ce gosse. Il a su se battre contre un truc aussi immonde. RIP pour Ronan. J'en ai les larmes aux yeux.
