HELP SAVE BABIES!!!

HELLO everyone!!! It's that time of year again for Matt, Jack and I to start our fundraising for the March of Dimes. As many of you know, WE are the Ambassador Family for Allen County this year and it has really been an awesome experience. We have spoke on several occassions and told our story of Jack. It's been an emotional time but really awesome to get our story out there for a great cause.

I spoke in October at an event called Chef's Auction. That was probably about 400-500 people. For the auction Jack fingerpainted a canvas and the doctor that delivered him bought it for $625!!!!! The 2nd event that I spoke at was the Relators Luncheon. Then I spoke at Peg Perego's kickoff meeting. Peg Perego is a big contributor here in Fort Wayne. At that meeting, Jack recieved a battery operated tractor with trailer that he was very excited about. And last but not least, I spoke at the Allen County kickoff meeting. So we have been very busy.

So....here I am asking for all your help, donations, time, etc. to help the fight to save babies. That's the bottom line: HELP SAVE BABIES! We are asking for any of several things.

1) Walkers for the March for Babies that will be happening in Fort Wayne on April 26 at 9am at Johnny Appleseed Park

2) Donations (big and small)

3) t-shirt buyers. We will again make t-shirts for our walking team "Jack's Joggers" We haven't had them designed yet so I am going to guesstimate that they will be about $10-15.

4) help me in the fundraising project. Anyone that is on our team that raises $125 or more will get incentive products. ie) $125 gets a t-shirt

5) garage sale: I will be having a garage sale at our house on April 10 and 11 (Friday and Saturday). 100% of the proceeds will go to the March of Dimes. We did this last year with a friend in Warsaw and made about $700-800. So either come and buy!!!! or donate items to be sold....OR BOTH!!!

So you can either email me back and let me know what you would like to do or what you wouldn't like to do or you can go to this website: http://www.marchforbabies.org/matt_lindsay0423 and sign up to be on our team and have your own page to send out to others and get donations or you can go to that website and put a donation. Please email me with any questions or concerns you may have. The Walk is a really fun time. This year there will be many more things to do and there will be many things for children to do (face painting, clowns, big blow up jumpy things....)

Again, please email with any questions!!!

Thank you ahead of time for anything you can do to help save babies like JACK!!!!

Lindsay, Matt and Jack
