Benefit Was a Success: Happy Birthday Conan.

The Kicks for Conan Benefit raised over $17,000. This that amount was presented to Gretta to pay for Conan's medical bills. The plans are to continue the benefit but to use the funds for other local families struggling with cancer.

Also, yesterday was a milestone of sorts as we celebrated Conan's birthday without him. This photo appeared all over facebook after ESPN anchor Stuart Scott died on Sunday morning. The quote was taken from his speech accepting the Perseverance Award during the ESPY's.

It felt very appropriate to include it when speaking of Conan and remembering him on his birthday.
