March of Dimes~March for Babies
Team Trevor
April 16th, 2011 Team Trevor successfully completed our first walk for March of Dimes/March for Babies! We participated in a 3 mile walk around the Lamar Univeristy campus in Beaumont, Texas. Team Trevor raised $1052.00 for the March of Dimes! We expect to more than double this amount for our next walk!
About Team Trevor and the March of Dimes
Trevor is the son of Dennis and Melody Campbell, of Silsbee. He was born 3 months prematurely, weighing only 1lb 1oz, and 11.5” long. As you can imagine, Trevor’s odds of surviving were next to nothing. Trevor suffered a brain hemorrhage, underwent surgery at 3 days old to place a titanium clip on the artery that runs between his heart and lungs, was diagnosed with chronic lung disease, suffered a paralyzed vocal cord, and many other complications. He spent 102 days in the NICU in Houston, Texas before he was healthy enough to come home. Not only did Trevor survive to become the smallest surviving Silsbee resident on record, but he baffled doctors and specialist by having no profound disabilities or lasting effects. Trevor’s amazing outcome is in part due to research, funding and education provided by The March of Dimes. Our family has joined The March of Dimes and formed Team Trevor. Our team is expected to conduct individual fundraisers benefitting The March of Dimes each year. Last year, Team Trevor raised $1052.20 for The March of Dimes by selling Team Trevor t-shirts. This year we have created a very unique and collectible cookbook, “A Pound of This…an Ounce of That”. We have been so blessed and honored to personally receive recipes for Trevor’s cookbook from huge stars such as Nolan Ryan, Mario Andretti, Bill & Gloria Gaither, Kenny Rogers, Mark Nesler, Brian Boitano, Miss Texas, Bob Phillips (Texas Country Reporter), and the great Paula Deen, as well as several others! We have worked extremely hard to make the cookbook a success and are elated that so many kind individuals have come together to support such a wonderful charity. The cookbooks are $15.00 each. We expect the book to sell out quickly and be very popular due to personal submissions by several celebrities. The cookbook is a custom designed, hard back (padded), 3-ring binder style book, and includes more than 300 recipes with notes, pictures of Trevor, and personal pages. Cookbooks must be pre-ordered and paid for in advance. I will only order a limited number and will not re-order. These will sell fast! Send your order form in today to ensure your copy! Help Silsbee’s tiny survivor to raise awareness and funds for The March of Dimes, in hopes that one day, we can find a way to prevent premature births and no baby will have to endure what Trevor has. Thank you so very much for your participation. COOKBOOKS SOLD OUT! Check back later :)
