Thanks for  checking out my page. My name is Mike Kelley , and I am lucky enough to have been asked to help raise money for Norwood's Circle of Hope Foundation. The Circle of Hope was started in memory of Norwood resident Michelle Kennedy. Michelle battled leukemia, and was taken far too young. As Norwood always does, the town came together in support of her during her fight.  Michelle's memeroy lives on through her mother Lee and her work with the Circle of Hope.
 
 The C.o.H gives residents of Norwood in need of help, time, resorces, and funds to help them through difficult times.   In the short 17 years that it has been established it has rasied well over 250,000 dollars , all of it going directly to Norwood residents in need. 

   The Circle of Hope's largest fundraiser every year is Norwood's own "Dancing with the Stars" event. This event is held every year and follows the format of the widely popular network show, where dancers compete for the elusive mirror ball trophy based on dance scores and fundraising dollars.  I can only work with what the good lord gave me as far as coordination,rhythm & style as far as the dancing goes. But, you can help win that Miror-ball with your donations to this most worthy cause.

   I know how many charities & organizations compete for our hard earned money.  We can't always give to them all.  But the C.o.H. , I feel, is so deserving of anything we can spare- just based on it's totally organic & grass roots start. ..."A hometown girl taken way before she ever should have, and a town that would not forget her." So in her memory, this town will do anything for any of  it's own in need.  

     The Circle of Hope & the town of Norwood together define the word charity.

  I will be holding fundraiers & other methods of rasing money for this amazing charity, and will do my best to keep eveyone informed. 
 
   Please pass this link on to as many as you can, and more importantly THANK YOU.
