{Hot Topic} Ryan Seacrest & Children's Healthcare of Atlanta-Egleston

"The media center, named THE VOICE, will be a lot of fun for the kids, too. Not only does it function like a radio station, where the children can request songs from their rooms, but it allows for the little ones to participate in the production of radio, TV and new media content."

"Ryan, seen here with his mother Connie, sister Meredith, and his father Gary, stand directly in front of the new VOICESM."

"Children's Healthcare of Atlanta patient Donald Cowans, 17 from Louisianna, is given some inspiring words by Ryan during his visit to the Egleston hospital."

"Ryan stops to talk to 14 year old patient, Olivia King, from Buford, GA."

Yearly, Star 94 has their radio telethon to raise money for the hospital. I always call in and give as I have two daughters and this hits close to home. We used their outpatient therapy services, for my daughter Amelia (now 6) when she was nine months old. We took her two times a week for months. She had mild Torticolus and thank goodness all is OK with her neck. I am so thankful for their services. Their team made us feel like our daughter was the most important patient they had to see that day. And, as I type this post (sitting in bed), I feel such emotions seeing these images as they touch my heart so much. My three year old, Noella Sophia, is lying across my lap (snoring) and I cannot help but feel thankful that she is a healthy little girl.

So, I hope you will find it in your heart to give a little time, a little money and definitely a few prayers for all the kids and families they take care of every day of the year. I hope you (or a friend) will never need their services but if you do, you'll be glad they are there and with their doors are open 24/7, 35 days a year.

{Thanks for reading this post!}

Cheers,

Margaret
