Kelly, from Jenelle&#8217;s journey.\u00a0 Jenelle suffers from a rare form of Epilepsy called Lennox Gastaut Syndrome. For my birthday a couple years ago, the girls bought me a &#8216;build a bear&#8217; Hippo. They called it the Hopeopotamus. I am going to send Hope to Jenelle and her mom is going to get lots of pictures of Hope and their week long adventure and send it on to the next person on the list.\u00a0 The next person will get to read the information about epilepsy, put a entry in the journal to Jenelle to have when she gets it back in 6 months.\u00a0 While Hope is with you, we just want you to take pictures, become a bit more aware and send it to the next person.\u00a0 If you want, you can add to the box (not too big though, it&#8217;s going to be traveling) and everything that is added will be a gift for Jenelle. If you&#8217;re interested in having a Hippo in your house for a week, please send me your home address at randomandodd at gmail dot com. You have to promise a few things: 1. You will write something for Jenelle in her journal 2. You will take the time to read what Kelly adds (or go visit Jenelle&#8217;s blog for awhile) and become more aware. 3. You WILL MAIL IT OFF to the next person ONE WEEK LATER and get a &#8216;tracking&#8217; number. That&#8217;s it. I&#8217;m starting it off this week by sending it with the girls and having them learn more about Jenelle and how she inspires hope like no one I&#8217;ve ever known.\u00a0 Hopefully when the kids at school ask why they have a stuffed animal with them, they can share their hope for Jenelle.
