How much did you spend on coffee this morning?
How much for that sandwich you had for lunch?
What about that cute bag you just bought at Target?
How much would you spend to save your child's life?
We waste so much money on silly things that give us no lasting fulfillment.
Would you join us in giving to a worthy cause?
Would you join us in a fight for Garrett's life?
I've posted a link on the right of the blog where you can donate to an organization called Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy and their upcoming event called "Coach to Cure MD."
Coach To Cure MD is a partnership between the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), a professional organization for over 10,000 college football coaches and staff, and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the largest national charity devoted exclusively to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
In 2008 the AFCA adopted PPMD’s Coach To Cure MD program as one of their charity efforts. One reason the AFCA was drawn to Coach To Cure MD was because of the unique parallels between Duchenne, a disorder which robs young men of precious muscle strength and college football, a game where young men are at the peak of their muscle strength.
The goals of Coach To Cure MD are simple: raise national awareness of the disorder and raise money to fund research for a cure. The approach to reaching these goals is also simple. One football Saturday of each season (this year it will be on September 25, 2010) AFCA coaches nationwide agree to promote Coach To Cure MD. By wearing armbands, mentioning Coach To Cure MD during on and off-field interviews, and in some instances doing even more extensive media relations around the date, coaches are rolling up their sleeves and proudly getting involved.
Please donate...not just once...several times.
Please pass along this message to anyone you know.
Please watch football September 25, 2010 and think of my Garrett.

Oh, I love that boy! Amber, let's see if we can get some armbands too. We can pass them out to raise awareness and money. If you do not know how we could do that, I will check and see if I can find something! We did that for Crohn's disease for my sister/family.
Love you all!
