Round Three

Here we go again!!!  In a couple months, we will be walking for the third year in the March For Babies sponsored by March of Dimes.  The money raised will go to this amazing organization whose goal it is to ensure that all babies are born healthy.  With their help, families could be saved from walking the same path that my family has had to endure over the past two and a half years. 

In the past, I have been a member of a much larger team.  Their team captain took me under her wing and has shown me the ropes for the past two years.  So this year, I'm venturing out on my own to try to do this with my own team.  Our team name is "Heart's Content"... now that Nash is whole and healthy in the kingdom of heaven, I know that his once broken and sick heart is completely content.  My personal goal is to raise $2000 and the goal for my team is to raise $4000.  That seems like soooo much, but I'm praying that with lots of help and hard work, we can meet it.

I realize that everyone has a lot going on in their lives, but if any of you could go to the link on my blog and donate to this more than worthy cause I would be grateful.  Each year, I look at this March as being a way to show Nash not only how much he is loved, but how much he affected this world in the short amount of time that he was here. 

Every single dollar truly makes a difference.  Many of you donate to some type of charity each year, so why not have the March of Dimes be it for you?  If you have friends or family members that you feel would be proud to be a part of my fundraising campaign this year, please please encourage them to visit the website.  

It is a bit of an awkward thing to ask people for money.  But, this is the one time every year that I try not to worry about asking for what I really want.  This is something I do for a little boy that touched my heart in more ways than I can express.  This is something I do for a little boy that left this world much, much too soon for his mommy's liking.  This is something I do for MY little boy... to make him proud of his mama as I keep trudging along. 

Love to y'all,
Tracy
