Light The Night

A few years ago my friend Debra lost her brother Jim to cancer. For the last 4 years my friend has held a Light The Night walk in his memory.

The walk raises funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and over the last 4 years they have raised over $15,000!

This year Brian and I along with the kids are honored to participate. And we are hoping that you will support us in this endeavor. We are looking for sponsorship from friends and family.

The really cool part is that an anonymous donor has a agreed to MATCH EVERY DONATION DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR! So even if you can only donate $1.00, $5.00 or $10.00 it will be valued twice as much.

If you are able to support please reply to this post and I will send you the details.

It is my hope that you prayerfully consider partnering with Brian and I in this year's LIGHT THE NIGHT walk in memory of Jim.

Many Thanks in advance.

Shoe Drive

Brian and I were invited to participate in a shoe drive for an orphanage in Ethiopia.

Most of the children are 6 and up but there are a few younger and they are in desperate need of shoes. If you have any boys or girls shoes that are new or gently used (preferably sneakers) we would love to send them over. Just let me know and I will make arrangements to get them from you.

Also, if you know anyone else that might want to participate feel free to send this on.

Many thanks in advance for your consideration.

P.S. Payless is running their buy one get one half off thru this weekend. So if you need any shoes... maybe you would consider picking up an extra pair. I'm going to take my kids to pick out a pair for the children. I love these tangible ways to help my kids understand how fortunate they are. : )
