I wake up to do my morning workout in my home gym in my condo. I am a little sore from the triathlon but I still work out when I can.I am excited to be going to tonight's fundraiser. Just the ticket alone for my guest and I cost $1,500.00 but supporting Cindy Wade and for a worthy cause is worth it. Frankie, Jane and myself paid for MA's ticket. MA wanted to go to support Cindy tonight. Cindy was grateful for us supporting her in this event that is dear to her.

flashback
I was waiting to hear about Ricky's outcome from the tumor being removed. Both of our families were there. Dwayne and I over heard a man tell the doctor that he couldn't stay too long because he had to check out of the hotel. He couldn't afford another day. He was going to sleep in his car until his wife was released from the hospital. Dwayne approached the man. "Sir I couldn't help but over hear your dilemma. I will pay for the rest of your stay at wherever you are staying. My brother is having his tumor removed and I know how taxing its on us without additional worries about where we will sleep. Please give me your hotel information. I will have then bill me directly." " Sir why would you do that for a total stranger?" He tells me his name finally. Ben I am fortunate with my career that I can help others. " " Sir do you mind if I ask you what you do that is lucrative to do such." " I don't mind at all Ben. I play basketball for the Miami Heat." " Oh my, you are Dwayne Wade. I am sorry I didn't recognize you. I am am Celtic fan myself but still appreciate talented players. I coach the community league but that has been put on hold until my wife gets better. My family comes first. I live in Boston but too far from the hospital. I need to be close for my wife needs and my needs." Dwayne took Ben's information and contacted the hospital.The hotel wasn't believing him they were speaking to him. He had blocked his number so the hotel or others would not see his number. "Sir I cannot leave where I am at but my security guy Wallace will be there shortly to pay Ben Riddle's bill. please send the rest to my business manager. I assure you. You will get paid fully. " " Ben that part is taken care of fully. I would like to come to the community center or wherever you practice to go talk to the them. Here is my personal contact information. Please don't share my contact information with anyone." Ben shook his hand and hugged Dwayne. "Cindy I wonder how many others from this hospital alone have similar stories or worse. I want to do more than just Ben." "Dwayne you know I like to give back to my community. This could be something we do together, but I will sponsor it. Not every year because I want to help in doing it and I know it takes alot of work if I did it annually. I say every other year would-be better for me."

End of FLASHBACKCindy told me and my family how this fundraiser started. This year I did all the graphics for her for free. This was my donation to her fundraiser besides going tonight and maybe bidding on the silent auction. I finished my work out. I took a shower and was ready in no time to get my date, Lisa Vera Cruz. I used my fob to unlock my car.
