Dempsey 2011_Team Cuddledown and "Phill Power"

Just a quick update on Cuddledown’s 2011 Dempsey Challenge.  As discussed in our previous post, the Cuddledown team, with more than 53 employees, family members and friends, walked, ran and biked, ultimately raising more than $17,000 to support the Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing (founded by Patrick Dempsey of “Grey’s Anatomy” fame).

Not only did the team get to see “McDreamy” during the race, but our fearless team leader, Nina Brown, whose husband Chris was the inspiration for our team this year, got to meet Patrick Dempsey up close and in person at the invite-only Champions for Hope dinner, held during the Challenge weekend.  We thought we’d share some photos from the event.  And yes, according to Nina, he sure is dreamy … and a very nice person as well!
