March Forth With Hope Foundation

I need YOUR help!!!It has been 10 years since Hope made her wish! It is the time of year when things started rolling with her wish and Panthers in 2003. It is such a great story of HOPE for the season, I would like to flood ABC, NBC! And Fox and Friends with emails to have them do a story on Hope after 10 years. The panthers are on a roll and Keith's book is out! and I have pudge the cat who needs to be seen! Ha ! The movie funding is about 150,000 from happening. We need another miracle. If you have passion for Hopes story, please consider doing this with us. We are thinking Friday will be the day. We ask you to spread the word to your friends and help this go viral, we will be posting an example of email you can paste and websites in the next day or two! Let's do this! ‪#‎justbelieve‬

 

There are at least a couple of facebook pages for her if you're interested in following them

My wife's family has been pretty good friends with them for a while (used to go to church together). She talks very fondly of Hope.

Seeing her name again gives me chills. While I never met her, she was an amazing young woman. What a magical season and time that was. Thank you Hope for being such an inspiration as to how we should all think and act. You were wise beyond your years. You are the epitome of humanity.

I remember when you were just a kid on the drum line and I was a band mom chaperone.  Now you're all grown up.

and another thing her mom posted

 

 

If you want to copy and paste something for sending to the morning shows tomorrow, it is below. If you would like to add how Hope has impacted your life, please share that too. Thanks so much for doing this for Hope!

In November, 2003, Hope Elizabeth Stout was approached by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She was suffering from a rare form of bone cancer. When told she could have anything she wanted, Hope, who was 12 years old, found out there were 155 kids ahead of her on the MAW list. 

"My wish, she said, is to grant the wishes of all the other kids, just as soon as possible." 

Over the next 4 weeks, as Hope's condition worsened, donations began pouring in to the Make-A-Wish office in Charlotte. As this incredible story was taking place, the Carolina Panthers went on a tear and eventually made it to the Super Bowl. Sadly, Hope didn't live to see it. She died on January 4, 2004. But two weeks later, on January 16, 2004, at the Celebration of Hope Gala that Hope planned, over $1.1 million was raised and all the wishes were granted.

Now, 10 years later, we want to bring awareness to this amazing story. Hope Stout thought of others other than herself. She selflessly gave up her wish so others could have theirs. Something we can all aspire to.

If anybody on this forum could help her folk out and send e-mails, it would mean a lot to them.  They are trying to get the last bit of funding for a movie about her and any publicity they can get would be appreciated.
