There is no such thing as a bad day at the Great American Ball Park, especially not when it is the last day before you enter the hospital for an extended stay and chemotherapy treatment. Thank you, Cincinnati Bell & CBTS for helping us make these kids (and their families) smile.

Thanks to our friends at CBTS / Cincinnati Bell, we had an opportunity to take our kids/families to the Pilot House (the top floor of the “river boat” at the end of center field) at the Great American Ball Park to watch today’s Cincinnati Reds game.
