Moe Must Learn How To Sign Autographs!

Yes… it’s true!  We are famous!

Here’s how it all went down:

Last year, when I got word that Oprah was calling it quits, I decided that I must write a letter to her crew to tell them about Camp Casey and see if the story was at all appealing.  As it’s often said in the camp office, you throw enough horse manure against a wall, something sticks.

Well, turns out Oprah was booked.

But, where one barn door closes, another must open because only days after receiving a very politically correct denial email, I received a very exciting phone call.  Apparently, Oprah’s crew wasn’t blowing smoke when they explained that they weren’t able to make it a story but would pass it along to their friends.  On the other end of the line was a woman named Jill Rappaport from NBC’s TODAY SHOW!

 

Jill, and the Today Show team were able to spread the word about Camp Casey to millions of viewers.  The broadcast brought in over $10,000.00 of donations and helped our program through incredible growth.  We all felt like movie stars– especially Moe who got used to life as a celebrity and now demands his carrots served peeled and chopped.

 

 

About Molly Reeser

While studying journalism at Michigan State University seeking a degree in Journalism, I worked part-time teaching horseback riding lessons. At the barn, I met Casey, a young girl whose journey with cancer affected my life tremendously. After Casey’s death, I set out to do something to commemorate her life and love for horses. What was supposed to be a one-day affair for children at Sparrow Hospital has turned into an ongoing therapeutic horse program for kids with cancer throughout all of Michigan. Today, I serve as Executive Director of Camp Casey and oversee all aspects of the program. I currently reside in Ferndale with my husband, Nick, our cat Peach, and our rescued pit bull, Cowgirl. I was the first baby of the new year in Detroit in 1983 and consider myself an optimist with a practical grasp of the world. I prefer spontaneity and find routine boring.
