Miles for Melanoma Fundraiser

This is not really baby Saf related but I wanted to let you all know about the 3rd annual Miles for Melanoma walk that is happening this month in Coppell. Many of you supported us last year as we walked to raise money for research specifically in the area of melanoma for the MD Anderson clinic in Houston. Unfortunately we are not able to walk this year as we will be in Chicago celebrating Jason's grandmother's 80th birthday (and we're so thrilled to get to celebrate with all the family) but my parents will be doing the walk and we want to encourage anyone who's interested to participate. It is a free event with the hope that each person or family who walks will get at least $50 in donations. It really is a worthy cause and the family who sponsors it knows first hand the impact a melanoma diagnosis can have on a family as they lost their 27 year old son to melanoma a few years ago.

I have included the information below but there is also a link to the foundation's website to the right on our blog page called "Melanoma Foundation." If you would like to make a financial contribution but are not able to join the walk, feel free to send it directly to us and we will see that it gets to the event coordinators or see the website for details. (You can mail in a donation or make one online from the website.) There is a registration form on the website but you can also register the morning of the walk. It's a really fun event with good prizes at the end, too!

Thanks for taking the time to read this and even if you can't be a part of this event we thank all of you who continue to pray for my health and our experience with fighting this cancer. Here's to finding some new prevention and treatment options and ultimately a cure!

Love,
Lindsay
