BabyCakes NYC was Mia's favorite bakery in the City. They specialize in sweet treats that suit just about any diet imaginable -- refined-sugar free, gluten free, wheat free, soy free, vegan, kosher. BabyCakes will be honoring Mia's memory by donating a portion of sales of her favorite dessert, Agave-Sweetened Brownies, to the Ocular Melanoma Foundation for the entire month of September. If ever there was a time to indulge your sweet tooth, this is it.

Rocking and running.
Hi all. I wanted to check in here, and give everyone an update on things.
These two gorgeous photos are by Todd Chalfant. He recently discovered them among his files, and I thought you'd all appreciate these images of our lovely. I believe they were shot sometime in 2008.
I'm organizing a fundraiser for the Ocular Melanoma Foundation. It will be at the Living Room in NYC on Sunday, 20 September. The night will feature some of Mia's favorite local musicians—Nels Andrews, Milton, Pete and J, Bill Sims Jr, and my own Mint Imperials. There will be raffle prizes, and some special prizes will be available via silent auction. (Shhh! It's silent.) If you can't attend the event, but would like to make a donation to the OMF in Mia's name, follow this link. Tickets are available at the Living Room and from TicketWeb.
I'm going to be running the Dublin Marathon at the end of October, along with Mia's dear friend Lucinda. I'm running this race to challenge myself, not to raise funds for a cause. However, if you happen to think it's awesome that we're going to hoof 26.2 miles, feel free to make a donation to the link above.
Thanks again for all your sharing, all your love, and all your support.

A note from Hilde.
Dear everybody on this blog. First of all thank you for all your letters and photos, it has been such a comfort to me for the past three months — thank you!
(Sorry for all the mistakes in my English — hopefully you will bear with that.)
Dear Mie.
It has taken me a long time to get to what I want to tell you on this blog — because of the foreign language, but also because it has taken me some time to get my thoughts about you into words.
As I have been your sister in law for nearly 27 years, married to your brother Eric, I have known you since you were only a little girl six years old. But for all those years, you have always lived and travelled far away from our land and life and there for — as I wrote to you in May, you have been in our minds and our talks hundreds of times more than you have actually been to our home. We usually saw you maybe one or two times a year, and because of that I think it will take us a very long time to realize that we are not going see you anymore ….. we are so used to missing you!
But in that way you will always remain the same to us : An adventurer travelling around the world — now including the whole universe!
I want to thank you for all what you have been to your nieces Laura and Anna. You have been such a great example to them, and I’m sure that thy will somehow ” walk in your footsteps,” studying and travelling around the world hopefully for humanitarian reasons.
Anna had the pleasure to travel with you and Marcos to the Caribbean island St. Lucia 4 years ago — sweet memories! Anna and you had dreams about going to India and other exotic places together. I’m so sorry that you didn’t get the chance!
Both our girls have been looking so much forward to visit you and your lovely Adam in NY. Somehow we for the last two or three years have had the thought, that you after some more fighting would get rid of your disease. We couldn’t bear to see what was coming!
Next October Nina and Adam have invited Laura over there to see all your places….we are so grateful for that!
Both girls have been dreaming several times about you in nighttime. Two nights ago Laura dreamed that you sent her a text saying: ”I have to go on — please don’t feel sorry just smile, smile, smile….” — we’ll do our best!
Tomorrow, the 16’th of august we are 18 people from Denmark — family and friends of you, going on a big boat to spread the Danish part of your ashes and a lot of flowers into the sea, while singing some nice songs for you. Afterwards we will celebrate you with a nice picnic, sweet stories of your life and more music.
Last Christmas you gave us Tina Dickow’s latest CD “A Beginning, a Detour and an Open Ending.” She is a brilliant Danish singer and song-writer! Listing to her music will always remind us of you, and next Saturday we are going to join her in a live concert — that will be our private celebration of all the good memories you left — we will never ever forget you!!
Love from Hilde
