Dear Starlight MidAtlantic,
"It was almost a year ago when Ben and I attended our first Starlight MidAtlantic event. At that time the only other children Ben  had any contact with attended clinic with him. We had made it through 5 of the worst months of our lives. Ben felt isolated from his friends and received adverse attention whenever we went out. It was only after he was able to return to school full time in November that I found out how much it hurt him to be known as the “bald sick kid in the wheelchair”. He managed to hide most of the pain behind his big smile and just shrug it off. Starlight MidAtlantic opened a whole new world where he could laugh and feel special with other kids and not think about the clinic.
It was then that my “Ben” started to return.
Ben loves attending the Starlight events! Our family is so grateful for all that you do! You bring so much joy to so many people. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!”
With Love, Priscilla, A Starlight MidAtlantic Mom

July Volunteer of the Month
We are lucky to have so many dedicated volunteers in our region. We would not be able to do as many special events and programs for our children and their families without help from volunteers. Deborah is a valued part of the Starlight MidAtlantic team! 
Star Volunteer: Deborah Geiger
Fun Fact About Deborah: "I am starting to learn to play golf and I am going to Italy this September!"
More About Deborah: "I have worked for the The Driggs Company LLC as an accountant for the past 2 years. I moved from CA to MD 2 years ago. I have moved around all my life, but MD has always been home. MD is where the majority of my family lives. I got involved with Starlight MidAtlantic at the Children's Hospital during a santa event at Christmas time. I love making a brighter day for those who need it most specially around the holidays."
About Volunteering: "I love bringing smiles to the kids and their families at all the different events I have helped out with. Seeing their smile brightens my life everyday. The golf tournament so far was my favorite, but I also like spending time at the NIH."
