More Hope for Amniotic Fluid Embolism Survivors and Their Families

I was recently contacted by a woman that survived Amniotic Fluid Embolism a week after Jenni passed away from one. It is extremely rare to survive and since her recovery, she has determined to do all she can to help others in her situation as well as the situation that the Pemberton family faced. She is working feverishly to begin a charitable foundation that helps raise awareness, raises funds for research and also provides support to the widowers and their children after they lose a woman to Amniotic Fluid Embolism.

Everything for the foundation is still in the beginning stages, but is progressing. I will post more information as soon as there is some. I think it is wonderful that there can be a network of support for families as well as doctors and researchers trying to figure out why this happens and if there is any form of earlier detection.

Who Loves 4 the Love of Shoes?

Do you love shoes? We do, and 4the Love of Shoes will be in Eagle Mountain on Saturday, Jun 28, 2008 featuring their Summer Preview and Clearance Event from 4-7 p.m. in the Ranches. The address is 2217 E. Firwood Lane, Eagle Mountain, UT 84005 and is in the Lone Tree subdivision.

They will be featuring:

And on top of that you can do a great service for others. First, as part of this community event, 10% of sales will be donated to the Jennifer M. Pemberton Memorial Fund.

Second, they will also be collecting donations of gently used shoes for Soles for Souls -- a nonprofit organization distributing shoes throughout the world. So, clean out your closets beforehand!! To learn more about this charity, visit http://www.giveshoes.org/

Come on out this Saturday and put some cute new shoes in your wardrobe and as you make room for those by donating some of your previously loved shoes, help benefit the Pemberton family as well. See you Saturday.

Another Amazing Opportunity

Raymond Designs, (also known as the Original WallWoody) generously donated two of their beautiful framed pieces for the auction on the 17th.

They have also created a wonderful promotion that will in turn benefit the Pemberton Family. For a few days only, if you purchase any of their art online and use the promotional code, JENNI, up to 30% of the purchase price of the artwork will be donated to the family.

Again, this is for online orders and be sure to reference the promotional code or the money will not be credited to the Pembertons. Shipping is free.

PROMOTIONAL CODE: JENNI

Thanks to all involved.

Thank you to all of the vounteers, sponsors, donors, and perfomers who made this event possible. It was a very fun evening for families and will help the Pemberton family. If you are still interested in helping please see the link at the side for a Pay-Pal Donation or visit any Zions Bank to donate to the Jennifer M. Pemberton Memorial Fund.
