Are you with us???

It is that time of year again, actually we are a bit late in announcing, the March of Dimes March for Babies walk is May 8, 2010 9am. This is the one event that we will try our hardest to never miss. Jeremy and I decided that our family participation in the walk would be our tribute to Evan every year. The March of Dimes is an amazing organization that does so much for NICU's across the country and research for babies born prematurely or with birth defects.

This year is going to be extra special for us. The Austin MoD chapter has memorial towers scattered through out the grounds area on the day of the walk. These towers each pay tribute to a little one that has left this earth way to soon. I received an email Friday asking if they could do a memorial tower in honor of Evan. Of course I said yes and sent in the information. So honored and humbled that they want to honor our little girl. I know God is using her story in so many ways, and it just warms my heart when we get to be apart of it. The sponsors that donate the funding for the towers will also give us the banner after the walk as a keep sake.

So with this special tribute we are working extra hard to raise money for the Austin MoD chapter. If you would like to donate to March of Dimes, we will have a link posted on our blog shortly. I am going to call around tomorrow to check on locations for a bake sale fundraiser and am looking into other ideas as well. If nothing else we would love to have you walk with us on Saturday May 8th. The walk is a short 3.2 miles through gorgeous downtown Austin. The path goes around the capital so there is even a photo op! We would love to have everyone join us.
