Hope for Henry

Who could resist an organization with the motto "Live well and laugh hard"?

Certainly, not I.

Today I am having the honor of spending my lunchtime with Chicken Butt, O.J., Dotty, and all of their friends at Georgetown University Hospital's Lombardi Cancer Center.  Courtesy of Hope for Henry, an incredible organization founded in honor of Henry Strongin Goldberg, a cute, fun-loving and courageous little guy who was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia at the age of two weeks and lived life to the fullest for every day of his seven years.  He was, according to those who had the pleasure of knowing him, "the master of living well and laughing hard." I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to meet Henry.  He was clearly my kind of person.

Henry's mom, Laurie Strongin, is a major hero.  She and her husband founded Hope for Henry and they pull out all of the stops to bring joy and laughter (and books! and toys! and superhero parties!) to the lives of kids who are staring down long hours, days and weeks in the hospital. Check it out:

This is not Chicken Butt's first trip to the hospital (although, unlike a certain curious little monkey, he never broke a leg jumping off a fire escape to end up there), and I hope it isn't his last.  Because, like Henry, he is a live-well-laugh-hard kind of guy.
