Unite for the Cure Update



Today, November 30th, is the soft deadline for Unite for the Cure. There are a few families who have fundraisers planned in December and January, and of course, we are still taking donations through the holiday season. But I wanted to update my loyal blog readers with this fantastic information:

To date our family has raised $6,715.00

Our (27 family) combined total is:
$95, 619.49

Isn't that amazing?! In just three short months we have raised nearly $100,000!! I am so excited and so hopeful that this money will help fund a potential cure for Nicholas and all the other people affected with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. I am sure that in the next few weeks we will hit our $100,000 goal and I will let you know when we do! Thanks for supporting our family in all of our fundraising efforts over the last few months. We could not have done this without the help of our family, friends, co-workers, and kind-hearted individuals who heard Nicholas's story and simply wanted to help.

God bless you all!
