Yesterday, Lee and Em hosted a virtual "Wagie Ride" to honor the memory of Tuesday Whitt...what an AMAZING idea.
Where we didn't have a wagon, we took the opportunity to spend time with the kids, walking, playing, and despite their screaming and complaining, simply loving them. We went to a place called the "Kid's Kastle", that is covered in memories, and tributes, and donor plaques...the place just oozes with sentiment. And I took the opportunity to think more about Tuesday Whitt, as well as the many kids every year who live with, and die from this terrible disease.
And despite the sad thoughts, I also got excited again, at the thought of raising money, shaving my head again, and helping these kids. Once again I thank you for your donations, big and small, and I ask that those of you who have not donated to the cause please consider it. You have the ability to help some of these kids...even a small donation adds to reaching a cure.

I think it's really cool that it's been FREEZING here and today is a balmy 30 something. So we get to join in!
Today IS about Tuesday. And you rock.
That's a very sweet idea. I wish I had a way to participate.
Today is definitely Tuesday's day.
You are so wonderful! Thank you! If you don't mind, I'll be grabbing photos for a video scrapbook for the Whitt family (I am a friend of the family)
We don't have a wagie...but we went out with our bikes! Can't wait to see your pictures, Jay!
Looking forward to the pictures. We posted ours today. What a great idea huh? OH I clicked for you today.. Click fest!! stop by my blog and check it out (it's the post after the Wagie ride)
We don't have a wagie and no place to ride outside, so the Little Princess rode her favorite Princess Tricycle around the house for pics... ;) It's an honor to be able to participate in some small way.
