Thank you!!!

It's still a couple weeks until our 2nd Annual "Crawling For a Cure" Bar crawl to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and I am already amazed at all the support we're getting.  Last year I think we ordered 100 shirts.  I put in the order today for this year and .....it was 255 shirts!!  That in itself is amazing.  Then out of the blue, a college friend of mine emailed me and asked if he could donate a vacation voucher for our raffle!!!  A VACATION!  So sweet and generous of him.  That raffle alone is going to bring in so much money!  Thank you Matt(ie) (Spanky as I often called you).  You have always been such a sweetheart! 

Then I get a check in the mail from another friend for WAY more money than ever expected and she didn't even ask for a shirt!  She's getting one, but her and her family's kindness and caring words are so amazing and humbling.

Cassie's cousin JR designed our shirts this year and his company is giving us a great deal on the shirts so that even more money can go to the foundation.  We will be getting our pictures taken tomorrow to put it in the local newspaper and he will bring a poster he designed for Danny.  A wonderful tribute for a life cut too short because of this disease.

Here are what the shirts will look like (except we added another logo for Euclid Beverage who is sponsoring our crawl)

I have to say that my wonderful sister Jenna makes all this possible.  In the short 19 months that we've lived with this disease in our lives she's raised THOUSANDS of dollars for the foundation (around 10,000 now I believe).  She is the reason that the crawl happens and will continue to get bigger and better.  She did such a great job raising money for Great Strides our first year, she was asked to Chair the event last year!  Did I mention she is now in school to be a respiratory therapist???  Yes, Cole will have his own (full time) RT for the rest of his life...and his mommy will have the assurance that we know what we're doing and doing it right.

So, THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!!!  Words can never say how much I appreciate it and how much it warms my soul!
