Miles for Hope
I'm so happy our family was able to be a part of the Moving Towards A Cure, Clearwater 2011 event. It was truly an awesome experience for me. Over 1,500 people showed up at Coachman Park in downtown Clearwater, Florida to bike, run and walk. Dana, Gina, Rachel, Joe, Brie, Jacob, Gavin, Tim, BJ, Charlie, Erin, Darbi, TD and I made up Jacob's team, Team Big J Willy! A special thank you for those of you who also made donations to Jacob's team. Thank you, Pastor Bob, Lani, Rosenburg family, Tokotch family and Belcher family. As of today's website reports, the event has raised a total of $151,473.00, well over their goal of $125,000.00! The day before the event, Miles for Hope (MFH) received word from Dr. Linda Liau of UCLA that the pediatric vaccine trial will be a go and MFH will be receiving their grant request in the coming days.
