Last we talked we were gearing up for our Annual Walk N Roll. It was such a success. Thank you all so much for all your love and support. We had a great turn out and overall we raised about 1100.00 dollars. We weren't the highest earners but that doesn't matter any penny helps! We had quite the big team of supporters as well. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
As we enter into October it is Spina Bifida Awareness Month. My mission is to spread the word about Spina Bifida. There are so many misconceptions about our kids abilities and what they can do. So I've taken it upon myself to show the world that they are just like any other kid. Emma has temper tantrums, she smiles, she laughs, she plays, she dances, she talks, she loves her baby dolls. Emma is just like any other 18 month old. There are just a few differences, she doesn't get around like a typical kid but oh buddy she can FLY when she has her wheels beneath her. So in light of spreading awareness I have been participating in a hashtag campaign to change the misconceptions about kids with Spina Bifida and to prove to the world that she is in fact just like any other kid.
I have been doing daily Facebook updates with a little tid bit about SB and then putting a couple pictures of my sweet girl! Peoples feedback has been so encouraging to me. I am just doing what any other momma would do. Trying to spread the word, because before Emma was born I had NO IDEA what Spinda Bifida was. I am still no expert but through this life I'm learning a lot more. I love answering questions about Emma, if I can change just one misconception then I've done my job!!
If anyone that reads this blog has questions for me please feel free to ask. You don't just have to wait for October/Spina Bifida Awareness month to ask. If something pops into your head in the middle of February please ask me!
Thank you all for your continued love and support! We so appreciate each thought, prayer, good wish that goes up in our honor. Please keep praying for continued good health for our girl! We are so blessed by her and her health and happiness and we know its because of prayers!
