June 19th, 2010 is a very important day in our house. Our team Noah's Noggin regrouped to participate in the Epilepsy Foundation NW Race/Walk for the second year. This day is so very special to Geoff and I because it means so much to us that our friends and family will donate, raise money and give up their Saturday morning to show their support for us and our Noah. This is the day that makes us feel that we aren't alone but are surrounded by people who share our fight to find a cure for Epilepsy; That we have your love as we try to find our footing as parents of our special needs Troublemaker.
This year we raised nearly $1000 over last year's figure of $1755.55. That is something I am immensely proud of. Our final tally is $2660.00. Although our fundraising was dramatically stepped up this year, it was not enough for us to win a trophy. The entire race is a bigger event this year and all of the teams really increased their fundraising. But, you know, I am just fine with not winning if it means more money to help those with Epilepsy.
Thank you, thank all of you who raised money and made us feel so loved. I hope we have all of you with us again next year!
