Drew and I walked with some friends this past May for tha Stride and Ride, and fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. We walked on our friend Marisa's team, she has MD. We raised almost $1000 and reached our goal of sending a kid to camp. It was a blast, and our team 'Marissa's Musicmakers' are looking forward to the next walk...this time it will be in January at Ford Field in Detroit.
The MDA called Lisa (Marissa's mom) and told her that they wanted her to present the check at the Telethon to the MDA! It was a great honor and Lisa wanted us to join her. Drew and I went to the local channel 20 studios to present the check with Lisa & Marissa. Drew was fine until we had to go into the actual studio and wait our turn to go on the air. He was crabbing so much, we wound up waiting outside the studio room, but we got to see Lisa on TV! She did a great job! It was very nice that she included us...and we were happy to be there. We will be walking again in January...I will hit you all up for donations in a few months. It is a great cause...although Drew has Cerebral Palsy and not MD, we are all a united family and will help out any cause we believe in!! Thanks everyone for your continued support of the blog and my attempts at fundraising!

Little M'An has taught our family just how important every life is in this world. It really doesn't matter what the issue is, we all need the same intangible kindness in life. You are my heroes. So happy and honored that you were asked to present the money raised. So "LOL" at the fact that Little M'An had his own plan! So typical of a 9 year old! Teeheehee! Steve was the same way!!! Love you all. So proud to call you family. <3<3<3
