Man & Woman of the Year



The beautiful faces that you see belong to Griffin and Rose. You have been hearing the story of Griffin and all his 'going-ons' from word of mouth, Gretchen's FB, and or have been eyeing glimpses of him here and there.
There is more to tell you about Griffin and his recent follow up visit to Children's Memorial for a routine blood work up. Results are still pending, but the lab result of importance are Griffin's liver lab values. More updates to follow when available.
It was by special request to update the blog and give special mention to Rose and her mission. Rose is a survivor of NHL and her story can be found here:

The benefit for Man & Woman of the Year will be tomorrow May 21, 2010.

Congratulations to all who have supported LLS. To all the candidates in the running for Man & Woman of the Year, it was not only with the donations raised, but with your blood, sweat, and tears that you put a happy smile on Griffin's face.

On behalf of Griffin Maks and his family, Thank you!

Turn on the Light

The cogs are turning and the switch has been turned on. Imaginary light bulbs are above mine and Gretchen's head at the making of this post. The kids are running around us asking us for snacks, asking us to fix their toys, and tattling on the one that seems to cause all the commotion...Griffin. I know the latest post was way back when...but keep a look out for more information. We are here, and I know you are too.
