Hello all!

As some of you know I have a 16 month old son named Carson who was born 3 months early. He was just 1 lb 12 oz, at 28 weeks gestation due to my kidneys failing during my pregnancy. Without the help of some awesome nurses and his doctors I don't know if he would have made it into this world. He's now a fiesty one year old (as some of you may have just read about ;) ).
I just recently had reconstructive ankle surgery, but my doctor cleared me for walking in this year's March of Dimes walk, here in Indianapolis on May 12, 2012 (MY BIRTHDAY! WOO HOO!). 

I was curious if any of you out there would like to donate to the cause?  The walk is 3.1 miles in downtown Indianapolis.  The proceeds go to research and funding of finding cures, aiding in disease, and helping babies start healthy lives.  You can make any donation, every little bit helps.

You can make a general donation to The March of Dimes on their website- http://www.marchforbabies.org/default.aspx
Or if you want to support me in the actual walk, I will be making a personal page at March of Dimes... when I get all my info. together and create the page, I will repost on here for those of you willing to make a donation! 

Thank you all for your time!  I will repost here in the next few days with my info.  If you have any questions feel free to message me, or repost on here!

Oh gosh, many years ago, I'd do the 10 mile March of Dimes walk through Houston each year.  That seems like a lifetime ago!

I'd be happy to support you with a donation!  I'll wait for you to repost your info.  Thanks for your support to a terrific cause! :cuddle;

Let me know your info.  I am probably going to to the National Kidney Foundation walk againg this year, so you may be able to reciprocate?  Last year I raised $350 in just two weeks of canvassing, using just Facebook and Hotmail.

Healthy people may look upon me as weak because of my illness, but my illness has given me strength that they can't begin to imagine.

Always look on the bright side of life...
