Whit Whit Walk Caumsett State Park TOMORROW Sat. at 8:30am FUN for a GREAT CAUSE.

Greetings!

I just got this info on Thursday before I was leaving for the CSA and couldn’t really do anything about it till now. I was asked to share this event by a brand spankin’ new CSA member, Janna de Risi, who’s very good friends with Tracy Posillico, who is organizing this event…

Feel free to spread the word (and hopefully next year we’ll get this info sooner to be able to get more people informed about it)…

What’s this about?
Our new Green Thumb CSA – Huntington members, Tracy Posillico & her husband Paul, lost their precious daughter Whitney to an extremely rare cancer two years ago, just after her first birthday. Whitney was diagnosed with Rhabdoid Tumor of the Kidney at only 4 weeks of age. Tracy & Paul dedicated themselves completely to saving their daughter despite the odds that faced them. As you can imagine it is still incredibly painful to talk about yet they want to grow the research fund they’ve created at Sloan Kettering to honor their daughter’s memory, and to aid in helping anyone else who may find themselves in this most difficult situation.

This is when Tracy poured over research regarding health, and when she began her plant-based lifestyle using food and herbs to heal her family. Green Thumb Farm and the CSA is important to Tracy as she eats, sleeps and breathes exactly what the farm is all about, and knows this CSA is a special network of very caring people (which is why she wanted to share this with us!  ).

BTW…Tracy just gave birth to a little person about three weeks ago! I can’t wait to see this, literally, newest CSA member visiting the CSA soon!
