What Does Hugh Jackman Have To Do With It? {UPDATED}
Do It For Maddie
If you are on Twitter, you may have seen us sending “tweets” to the actor, Hugh Jackman. Why? Well, last week, Mr. Jackman pledged to donate $100,000 to charity. The catch is that he wants to be convinced via Twitter. He plans to announce the winner on Ryan Seacrest’s morning radio show on KIIS-FM Los Angeles on Friday, April 24 – the day before the March For Maddie.
If you have a twitter account, PLEASE cut and paste the following message to your twitter stream.
RT @mamaspohr: @RealHughJackman PLEASE donate your $100k to March of Dimes in honor of my baby #Maddie http://tinyurl.com/dnewtk
Don’t have a Twitter account? It’s free and easy. Go to www.twitter.com to sign up. Be sure to add Heather, Mike, and March For Maddie as friends so you don’t miss any updates on how to help.
Mr. Jackman, if you read this: PLEASE consider the March Of Dimes. Our baby was taken from us far too soon. With your donation, the March of Dimes will be able to pioneer more treatments that could lessen complications due to prematurity. We don’t want ANY other parent to suffer the loss of their child. Please, please help. And if you have any questions about the March of Dimes, talk to your mate Nicole Kidman – she’s a huge fan of the MoD!
******* UPDATE ******
If you’re interested in listening while Hugh Jackman makes his incredibly generous donation announcement, he’s calling the winner on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show tomorrow morning. Though the time hasn’t been stated, Ryan is on-air on KIIS fm (102.7) in Los Angeles from 5am to 10am PST.
You can listen by going to the website and clicking the “Listen Live” on the top left of the screen. I can’t guarantee that you’re going to be able to listen because it’s been blocked here in Canada due to licensing restrictions, but you’re welcome to try.
In the meantime, keep twittering:
RT @mamaspohr: @RealHughJackman PLEASE donate your $100k to March of Dimes in honor of my baby #Maddie http://tinyurl.com/dnewtk
To re-tweet simply copy and paste the above tweet into your twitter profile and post it. It’s that simple!
Now it’s time to flood Mr. Jackman’s twitter account with our tweets!

March for Maddie
Nom, Nom, NomThe list of walks (which are being maintained by Sarcastic Mom, so visit her site and see if there’s one in your area you can join!) has grown to 54! Fifty-four walks, all in Maddie’s name! I can’t begin to even wrap my mind around that. People all over the country are doing their part for the March of Dimes in honor of Madeline and it’s beyond heartwarming to see.
With these walks beginning shortly – if they haven’t already – it’s important that we save these moments for Heather and Mike since they’re not able to make it to every location.
I’m asking you to please take pictures while you’re out with your group so we can eventually include them here for Mike and Heather. There’s a Flickr group set up where you can join and add your photos of the walk(s) you participated in.
I’ve decided to make the Flickr group private so you have to ask to join to provide your images. I will check your statuses regularly so you’re not waiting too long to input any images you have to share!
If you’re not able to participate in a walk you’re still more than welcome to join the group to view pictures!
Maddie toesWays to Honor Maddie’s Memory
Edited to add: I briefly took this down because I felt I made the wrong decision. I don’t want to put this out there for people to do as a task. It’s meant to be a heartfelt gesture - something you want to do – not something to do because it was suggested. I didn’t want to take away from the impact of what this truly means to Heather and Mike.
I’ve reconsidered and posted it again because it truly is a wonderful way to pay it forward in Maddie’s memory. I never even considered doing something like this and I’m sure there are many others who have not either, and if it’s done sincerely it will make a huge impact.
:::
I know a ton of people are trying to figure out what they can do to help, to show support for Heather and Mike and to help honor Madeline’s memory. Being at a distance from them feels as though there’s nothing that can really be done accept financial support but that’s not the case (but it is always needed to help cover Maddie’s hospital care. So if you haven’t, please take a moment and donate to her PayPal fund! The button’s in the sidebar, just click that to be directed to the appropriate location).
If you are looking for a walk happening in your area, please check in with Sarcastic Mom. She has a growing list of walks happening across the country. Please check and see if one of the over 40 walks happening in Maddie’s honor are close to you!
Numerous people are hosting their own balloon launches for Operation Purple Balloon. Make sure to either video tape or photograph your launch so we have it to include on the site for Heather and Mike.
A number of on-line shop owners have begun to offer discounts and some of their proceeds to help support either the March of Dimes or the Spohr family directly. Check out their shops and know that if you purchase something you’re also helping out Madeline, Mike and Heather.
But the ULITIMATE gift? Visit a local NICU with Parent Survival Kits and food in hand just as Kristin and her best friend have. Before you go, make sure to read Heather’s post: Neonatal Intensive Care FAQ.
If you do have a chance to visit a NICU in your area, please let me know (marchformaddieATgmailDOTcom) and I will compile a list of those visits and any photographs of your preparation and delievery as well as posts you’ve written about them.
Anything you do in honor of Maddie’s memory, I want to know about it! Everything included on this site is a gift to Heather and Mike and I want to memorialize all your contributions for this truly wonderful family.
