Welcome!

Some of you reading this may have been followers of Elle's blog - How is Elle? - as we chronicled her brave battle with Pleuropulmonary Blastoma. If so, I apologize for the time it has taken us to get to this point today.

However, Elle's mom and I are pleased to announce that we officially have in operation a charitable fund dedicated to helping Elle's legacy of bravery, love and happiness live on.

Officially called The Eleanor Clare Paye Charitable Fund, it also goes by a name some of you will be familiar with - Power of Elle. For those of you not familiar with the name, it was the name of the Facebook Group used to keep people up-to-date on Elle's progress after her initial diagnosis in March of 2009 and also to announce fund-raising events.

And that is what we will do here. We will keep you up-to-date on what charitable donations the Fund is making, things other people are doing to raise money for the Fund and events the Fund is holding.

If you would like to visit the Fund's website, the address is powerofelle.org.
