Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - cobra - Sunday 18-Nov-2012 Date: 17th November 2012 Venue: Weir Residence, Springfield Lakes Time: 14:30-16:30 Mission: To support the Starlight Foundation as they make a wish come true. Trooper Attendance: 4056 - stormraven 4943 - Rubber 5389 - Phantom 6068 - Cavalier 8547 - Bullant Guest Trooper Attendance: None Support Crew: 0889 - Cobra Detail: The 501st Legion had the honour of supporting Kirby Creighton from the Starlight Foundation as she granted 16 year old Jayke Weir a special wish, which was in the form of DJ equipment. (note the brand name ) Jayke is also a big Star Wars fan, so Stormraven provided Jayke with a Jedi Robe and Light Saber to use for the photos. Having the 501st Legion on deck, just made his day all the more special. Jayke's Mum and Dad couldn't have been more happier.(oh, see if you can spot Jayke's Dad ) All in all it was a great day for Jayke and the 501st. Charity Funds Raised: N/A Injuries: Nil Malfunctions: Cavalier had a slight problem with his armour, someone else forgot to put on his neck seal *cough* Bullant *cough*. Apart from that, nothing else was reported. Public Incidents: None, though Jayke's rowdy friends were quickly brought in to submission. Mission Status: Complete success. (we may even have one or two recruits as well) Photos: http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f69/501qld/2012%20Campaigns/2012-11-17%20Starlight%20Grant-a-Wish%20Springfield%20Lake/ TK 0889 out. RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Moxxxie - Sunday 18-Nov-2012 Unbelievable. Thank you so much for trooping this one at such late notice. Thank you so much, guys. I really wish I could have been there! RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - stormraven - Sunday 18-Nov-2012 Really glad to have been able to help out for this troop, its really great to see despite how much pain and problems this family have been through they can still find so much to be postive and happy about. Though the real stars of the day were the Starlight "make a wish" team providing Jayke with his own DJ equipment I know we made a good impression, already Jaykes older brother has signed up as a cadet, and we may get his dad as well. RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Bullant - Sunday 18-Nov-2012 Couldn't say it any better than stormraven. As far as the neck seal, after watching Ink Masters I thought the CRL had been updated to remove the neck seal Rick you also may have missed the comment of the day from Jayke's mum when they were discussing what each of the costumes were. Someone said "who's the black one?" and she replied "Isn't that Darth Vader's Aunty??" RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Phantom - Sunday 18-Nov-2012 Good little troop, I am glad I could make it. It was great to see the positive attitude from all the family and friends there considering what they have all been through what they are going through. RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - MammaSith - Sunday 18-Nov-2012 You guys ROCK, great work!!!

RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Rubber - Monday 19-Nov-2012 It's when you do a troop like this, you realise just how lucky you are! Great family, great troop, great fun, great photos and report Cobra. I also agree and couldn't say it better than comments of my fellow troopers. RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Rayvn - Monday 19-Nov-2012 What an amazing day for this familly. Rubber told me about it when I got home yesterday morning and made me all teary. These memories will be treasured by all I think. RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Mader - Monday 19-Nov-2012 Hi guys and girls, Jaykes dad here. We all had a great day and with that on behalf of Karen and I we would like to thank the guys who came, took time out of their day, even at the business end of the year, to make Jaykes day that little bit better. Alittle about Jayke. He has a rare disorder (1 in 26 million) that he now gets a feed through a tube in his stomach ie not allowed to eat anymore, and to top it off a heart condition aswell......has died on us atleast 11 times the first time Chris and I had to do CPR to bring him back. Once again thanks very much from mum and dad. Take care....... RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Cavalier - Tuesday 20-Nov-2012 So glad to have made this one, a great reason to troop.... Would do it again Anytime RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Oevil1 - Wednesday 21-Nov-2012 Never have I respected so many people so highly before. Great job guys!!! RE: Starlight Grant-a-Wish Springfield Lakes - Phoenix - Thursday 29-Nov-2012 Oh this is just brilliantly brilliant! |
