Soups for Megan is a fundraiser developed in order to raise awareness for childhood cancer. Megan was Tammy's daughter who recently lost her battle with cancer. The concept was that people within the community would donate a crock pot of soup and then others would come and eat and make a donation. This was started last year by Megan and this year the money was going to fund Tammy's trip to Japan to spread Megan's ashes.
Megan's Bucket List
The kids and I all went to the 2nd annual Soups for Megan fundraiser to help support Tammy. I know Tammy because we both have gone to Outlook church together for many years. We first met at the old building in Oaklandon and we greeted there together. There were many Sundays where we were on the same shifts. When I heard about the fundraiser I was happy to go to help. I ended up sampling each of the soups there and then buying 4 of my favorites to go. There were so many to choose from but I chose Pumpkin Black Bean, Bow tie chicken and noodle, Cheesy Potato and Southwest Chicken. They are all in the freezer and I cant wait to try them again.
Tammy, I am so sorry for your loss. Death is heartbreaking enough but to lose a child has to be the deepest heartbreak of all. I have no doubt that you were the greatest caregiver up to the very end. You have such a good heart and your laugh is contagious. It has to be healing for you to be able to do this fundraiser in your daughter's name. I know in the future you will be able to help many kids in her honor. I plan on attending every year as long as we can make it. The soups were all fantastic. This was such a unique idea for a fundraiser and I definitely enjoyed it.
