The Walk to Cure!


Kaci is 98% Good Witch!

Bailey smiling like all his Jack O Lanterns!


We are both humbled and overwhelmed by the generosity of people who have made donations to Kaci's team for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Walk For A Cure.
When we signed up I wanted to set our goal at $300 . That would be $100 for every month that Kaci will have had diabetes at the time of the walk. (She was diagnosed on July 28th and the walk takes place on October 31st)

When I told Kaci she said...."NO WAY!! We will never get that much money. Let's just set it at $100" -- and so we did. Since then our family and friends have proven us BOTH wrong. We wouldn't collect only $100, nor would we only collect $300- but we would collect $1,125.00 and still counting as a few more people are getting checks to me later this week!!! HOW AMAZING!!! There are no words that seem good enough....no words that can express to all of you what your donations have meant to our family.

So, although a simple THANK YOU doesn't seem like enough...they are the only two words right now that I can come up with as I cry and type this entry! So I will type them several times....Thank you, thank you, thank you- to the following people and their families:

Bobbie, Billy, Wendy, Herb, Craig, Jennifer, Carol Anne, Renata, Jeff, Pierson, Alyssa, Aunt Stella, Emily, Uncle Chad, Austin, Amy, Amber, Mark, Colton, Aunt Sue, Uncle Charlie, Auntie, Bubba, Aunt Ginny, Valerie, Zane, Cameron, Gary, Bj, Denise, Jessica, Diane, Mike, Christi, Charles, Jessica F., Daddy, PaPa, Grandma Dee, Margaret, Brad, Charles L., Diana, Trey, Laura, Rich, Mrs. Murdock, Nurse Scott, Ruth Bongio and John Welch!
