Black Pearl Rosé 2011 vintage, NOW ON SALE!!!!

MEG - OUR LITTLE PEARL NEEDS YOU HELP.
Meg is 4 years old and has spastic Quadreplegic Cerebal Palsy.
We are launching the second release of Meg's rosé wine called Black Pearl.
The idea for this fundraising effort came from winemaker & family friend Eleana Anderson of Mayford Wines (www.mayfordwines.com) who has lovingly donated her time and resources.
This wine is made from donated grapes grown in the Alpine Valleys by Mayford & Michelini wines, (www.micheliniwines.com.au) and bottled with assistance from Ringer Reef Wines (www.ringerreef.com.au) and picked, bottled, labeled and packed by volunteers.
A big, huge thank you to all those who gave their time and assistance.
The rosé was certainly made with love, you can taste it in every bottle!
The funds raised from the sale of this wine will be used for Megs future needs,
including this year the purchase of her first wheelchair.
For sale at Alpine Visitor Centres, in Bright, Mt Beauty & Myrtleford, & Food, Wine, Friends in Bright or print the order form below and we will deliver! Please help us to help Meg. For wine enquiries please email Kate - casleyke@bigpond.com. Enjoy!

Our little valentine turned 3






















Meg turned 3 on valentines day this week. We had a lovely small gathering on Sunday. Also cake and party hats at Lyndhurst (childcare) with the staff and kids for her actual birthday!
Huge Big thanks to Sam & Leonie from Coral Lee in Bright who made her fantastic butterfly birthday cake which we all loved & to Gordanna for the delicious fritatta that fed all the adults!
Meg loves all her prezzies and the singing elephant from Terelle & Des bring squeals of delight, she also loves all the books, bubbles & jewelery.
Thanks to everyone who came along and all the calls from family and friends.
Personally I cant believe that 3 years has past! It has been the longest and yet the shortest 3 years of my life! If that makes any sense?
On the potty front Meg is continuing to wow us!
Thanks for all your continuing support.
Here's some picks from the big day!

Calling all pregnant ladies!

I was telling my neighbour Terelle last week that I have started acosting pregnant ladies in the supermarket, down the street & anywhere I see them really!
Why you might ask?
Well we have gone through our journey here with our try at adult stem cell therapy to help Meg's cerebral Palsy, and in as much that the changes we have seen in her since the therapy have been minor, they have all been improvements & no negative impact whatsoever.
All the while in our research into the therapy we have seen major advances using cord blood stem cells - a major study at Duke University in the US is having amazing results using cord blood.
If only I had known about the posibility of saving our cord blood while I was pregnant and what a saftey net it poses for your new child.
So the poor pregnant ladies being aproached by a stranger and being told to ask their Dr about saving their cord blood at the birth of their child is me, just trying to make sure people are aware of the posibilities.
Terelle said I should put it up on the blog site - so here it is.
I am not saying accost pregnant women in the supermarket, but if you know any pregnant women you care about ask them........ I wish some one had done so with me while I was pregnant.
