WALK FOR WISHES

We want to Thank all our friends and family for your support for the 2nd Annual Walk for Wishes! 25 people came out to walk with the Walkin' 4 Tylor team and many more dontated so more wishes can be granted in Iowa!

The walked got started with a few words from the wish granters with the Make A Wish foundation, I talked about Tylor's wish to meet Brett Favre, we had a moment of silence for those who have passed, and a balloon release for HOPE.

It was a great day for a walk and the 2nd Annual Walk for Wishes rasied over $28,000! Thank you again for all the support.

Niemann Pick Awareness Month

Okay everyone today is the first day of Niemann Pick Awareness Month and I need your help!!! I need 11 people to donate $11 each! This is a challenge the foundation came up with. It is so simple and is a great way to raise alot of money!!

We received the news in July 2008 that Tylor has Niemann Pick Type C and every since we have been very active in the Niemann Pick community to help raise money for research. We have had great support from our family, friends and community and we Thank You for that from the bottom of our hearts.

I know there are always fundraisers going on and thounsands of groups to support but $11 isn't much and it will make a huge impact!! Please if you are interested in helping contact me at Rjenw97@aol.com or send your donation to 1825 Garfield Ave, Dubuque, IA 52001. Please make the checks out to NNPDF.

Thank you again for all the support and stay tunes this month I will be posting about other children affected by this horrible disease.
