Team Haleigh

The Softball tournament this past weekend was awesome. I hope everyone knows how thankful we are for the support our community has shown us. All of the girls that game from all over the county played great, and showed wonderful sportsmanship.

We started the tournament on Friday night, the 12's and 8's had 7 teams each so there was a need for Friday night games. We decided that while our team name is KAOZ we would call them Team Haleigh.

So we had the 1st game of the 12 and under teams and started at 7PM, we won against a team that we are great friends with and both teams played awesome! With that win we would play, Saturday morning at 1030. We won that game and then had a long 4 hour brake that turned into is not playing until 530 that evening.

While we were on brake we met a lot of people, most just wanted to meet Haleigh and give us their support, a few of the vendors gave us free stuff for Haleigh and we got some contacts that told us they would help us with fund raisers, we were a little over whelmed with all the support and love we were shown, but we're so grateful for all of it.

We played and won our game at 530 and were setting up to play in the championship game, team Haleigh wanted to win this game for her and they lost. The great thing about playing a double elimination tournament is that if you have not lost yet the next that has has to beat the undefeated team twice.

KAOZ, Team Haleigh

So at 945, we started the very last game of the night. Our girls were tired our girls were crying our girls were mad! Our girls played all day in the sun and 90 degree heat and we told them that we were so proud of them and that they were awesome. The game started and our girls ripped the ball! They were on their game for sure, the pitcher threw strikes, the catcher caught foul balls, 1st base dove in the dirt, all the girls hit the ball and we won. The other team played a great game too. But our team was team Haleigh and they wanted to win for her and they did it.

I am so so proud of all of them.

Haleigh went on the field to help hand out the 2nd place metals and the 1st place trophies. I was crying and smiling, I didn't even know I had tears until I saw Jason did too. We were just so proud of our girls and so over whelmed to see everyone clapping for Haleigh when they have her her trophy, yes she got one. They all had her name on them so of course she got one.

And that was it, we were told we made a lot of money, but we don't know exactly home much. I do know that when we get the check we will be opening Haleigh her own savings account, and I will transfer the money from our savings that was from the paint party. I will be able to pull it out when ever Haleigh needs it for travel and medical needs. The medical needs that relate to her nevus of course!

Haleigh had a great day playing and having ball park fun. She knew it was all about her and yesterday she was right.
