I wish that I had the privilege to have known MacKenzie. This beautiful, giving, happy child who is now an angel has touched so many people.
I received the "MacKenzie Award" from the Cool Kids Campaign last month and have learned so much about MacKenzie. When I was told that I would be awarded the "Mackenzie Award", I asked Chris what MacKenzie was like and to tell me about this sweet child. Well, I now know all of her favorite every things. From the day of her diagnosis, to her favorite colors, flavors, games and her love of things that sparkle. Most of all her caring for others and her contagious smile. I can only hope that MacKenzie somehow knows what she has started in The Cool Kids Campaign. Because of Mackenzie, so many children and their families have had the opportunity to join our Cool Kids family.
I'm sure she smiles down on us while we make care packages and the children are getting help with their school work, or making a craft.
So I wasn't fortunate enough to met you sweet angel, but I have met your parents, some of your family and friends. Therefore, I feel I have met you through them.
I know you are the brightest, most sparkly star in the sky and I am honored to receive an award that is in your loving memory.
