Care Walk 2013
« on: March 07, 2013, 06:25:25 PM »

So a few weeks ago we decided to register for the Care Walk that Cooley's Anemia foundation is holding.  In recent news of finding out that our son was thal major we decided that instead of sitting around and being upset about that we would immediately start and try to do something good and give back to the thal community.  Thus far we have organized a fun walk with music and raffles after where all funds are being donated to Cooley's Anemia foundation.  it has been so cool to see all the supporters.  Initially setting my fundraising goal at $250 we have already raised over $3,000 for team Jovi.  It has been awesome. 

If anyone lives in Rochester and would like to form a team or join see information below!


 Team Jovi has organized a Care Walk in Webster, NY

Wonderful!

Times like this makes me regret that why I'm not born or living in US.  :biggrin

Good luck and you're already doing an awesome job! Jovi would be proud of you.

I've posted an announcement and created an event on our Facebook thalpal page. I'm really happy to see you doing this. CAF is a great cause.
