Every Day Heros

I want to thank everyone who donated to team Seth, Hope and Faith. We raised about 455 dollars for the March of Dimes. Danielle (above) even got 30 dollars from her classmates. I'm so proud of her. Over all, this single walk raised 75,000 dollars! And they have these walks all over the country. 1/3 of the money goes to helping family's through a pre-mature birth. Such as medical care, paying for family's to stay away from home when hospitals are far away, and so on. 1/3 of the money goes to research. March of Dimes funded the discovery of the polo vaccine, they also funded the discovery of surfactant (drug that prevents prematue babies lungs capularies from collapsing). This drug alone has saved countless lives. Much much more could be listed. The last 1/3 goes to education to help inform people what to do to prevent premature birth. So I assure all that your hard earned money went to a good cause.
It was windy and a bit nippy, but the sun was out all day. We managed to walk 4 of the 6 miles (sorry no refunds). They fed us well with donated food. Then at the end of the day we bought some raffle tickets for a long list of small prizes donated by local merchants. We ended up winning the grand prize! One night stay at Heritage House hotel, and two 50 dollar gift certificates to their restaurant. We also got 2 free movie passes. So again, Thanks to all of you. People that are willing to take their hard earned money and put a little to a good cause are every day heros!
