New Guinness World Record made!

This email just came to my inbox from the online Brain Tumor support group I am part of. Have to post it to my blog because a new world record was made in the name of Brain Tumor awareness! Make sure you click on the link to see a short video of all of the candles that were lit. SO exciting. :) - Jeanie

Last night Miles For Hope along with its many supports broke the Guinness world record for the largest candlelight vigil! All in the name of brain tumor awareness.

The OLD record was 1000 and although it was close, at one point I thought we fell just short, we broke it with 1049 candles lit! It was truly an amazing event. Bob and I along with Dr Liau and her family, our very own Drew, and other guests were in the balcony of the suite and overlooked the stadium, it was moving to overlook the sea of candles lit, all in hopes of finding a cure for brain tumors!

We want to thank everyone who attended and supported us to make this event possible! We also wanted to thank Kris for bringing the hidden under our hats display, as always it was moving and well received.
