The 2nd Pierce Allan Helms Memorial

This years event was such a blessing. For the Soccer tournament asspect...Brandon Soccer League had over 107 teams come to play. "Saving Little Hearts one kick at a time." That is exactly what they were doing. Helping make a difference in memory of Pierce. At the dinner we had Dr. Salizar speak and many other heart families give their testimony. SOOOO many silent auction items were donated this year. It was so wonderful going out to my mail box and having so many packages from people outside of Mississippi wanting to make a difference for our Childrens hospital. At the time when Pierce was born, there was not a doctor in the state of Mississippi that could help Pierce, so flying to DC and Little Rock was all that we could do and it was so hard being away from home, my other children and Support. Now after Pierces journey we have Doctors in Mississippi and a wonderful heart program. I often wonder what if they had been here just six months sooner. But as any grieven mother, I think that is normal to wonder "what if." I do know that Pierce helped make a difference and continues to. All the proceeds raised from the tournament and dinner goes to Batson's Cardiology Dept.
