A Special Event for the Whole Family
I hope I'm allowed to post this. If not, my apologies...
My best friends have been up to a lot of GOOD. They started a 501c foundation after they lost their precious 3 month old daughter, Caterina Grace, to Nemaline Myopathy. Since then, they have been working extremely hard to raise awareness and money to find a cure. They have donated their proceeds to hospitals, rehabs, research labs, etc. They have been keynote speakers at hospital galas, featured on NBC news and in local papers.
Last year, they started an annual walk in honor of their daughter. The proceeds all go toward medical research. It's an event for the whole family. Kids are FREE and adults are $25 to register, which includes a t-shirt, food, music, bounce houses, face painting, etc. Since it falls on Halloween weekend, Halloween costumes are welcome--prizes for best costume!
At last year's walk, they raised $38,000! We're trying to beat that this year!
You can get more info & sign up for the walk HERE

These are truly special people that in the face of adversity, have handled themselves with strength, dignity, and grace. They have made it their mission to help others. I know we are always looking for things to do with our kids on the weekends--this event is perfect and an opportunity to give back in all the right ways.
If you own a business and would like to be a sponsor for the walk or donate a basket or service, please FM me and I will put you in touch with the right people.
Thank you for reading
