Thanks from Team Jake!

Just thought I'd update on the fundraiser Parker and I participated in last weekend, the MDA Stride & Ride in Charlotte, NC. Our team, Team Jake, raised more than $8,400 toward researching a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy! Here was TEAM JAKE:


All total, the event raised more than $65,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association! Let's hope this amount is just the amount needed to finally find a cure that will save countless lives!

Parker and I had a great time participating in the walk...


Parker says "GO TEAM JAKE!"


And here's the precious little boy who inspired us all to participate...Jake (diagnosed nearly two years ago with DMD):


We were so glad to go and participate and show our support to Jake and his family. Please continue to keep Jake in your prayers and pray that a cure will be found soon.

Thank you to all of you who supported us through your prayers and/or your donations. Everything was greatly appreciated.

And one more thanks, Parker and I had a great time and it was quite relaxing just having the one little one for the day. Thomas spent the day with his Nana and he had a ball. Thanks to Nana for a day of fun!
