She is a Rock Star!

Jade was nominated by 2 of her co-workers. She is a wife, daughter and the proud mother of 2. She was also diagnosed with Stage 4 liver and colon cancer. We decided that Jade would make a great candidate for our Saint Patrick's Day Tent Party at TGIFriday's on Ireland Rd in South Bend, Indiana. Jade's mom was taking her to dinner ( so she thought) I received a text message describing what Jade was wearing (one of the challenges in making sure that you surprise the right person.)
The Mobile Day Spa was parked outside in the parking lot. Given the description that I was texted, I spotted Jade and her mom as they arrived, only to my surprise she was walking across the parking lot and right toward the Mobile Day Spa. I mouthed to the girls "this is her!"
The volunteers talked her into buying an event shirt and answered all of the questions that she asked. Jade told me that she worked for Monaco Coach and that she had talked to either Mike or I about the donation from Monaco of a vehicle. Jade then asked " are you doing a make-over tonight?" We fibbed and told her no, that this was a fundraiser for Hello Gorgeous! and we were just here to support TGIFriday's. Jade then told me that she loved what we did and that she was a cancer survivor. I told her congratulations and we said our goodbyes and I walked into the Mobile Day Spa and told the girls "That is our make-over!" That had never happened before.

We gave her a few minutes to get settled in the restaurant. We gathered the chocolate, the flowers and her certificate and marched inside TGIFriday's to tell Jade that we had lied. We were doing a make-over and it is on her!

We had a great night! Sandy's Hair Design was the make-over team, and they pampered Jade with a pedicure, manicure, a facial, a new wig and a new outfit from Dressbarn. We revealed Jade on the stage with Shock Roxy in front of 500+ people! What a great night!!!

Jade is now cancer free and an inspiration to all of us!! She really is a Rock Star!!
