Taking a bike to a dance (No Comments)

How surreal to be back in one’s middle school, standing in front of a group with your former math teacher (who has maintained his full head of hair while mine had long since disappeared).

Gareth, Brandy, and I showed up for the kick off of the 2008 Make-A-Wish dance marathon at Bellefonte Middle School to talk a bit about our story, Gareth’s wish, and how money that goes to M-A-W really goes to enriching the lives of kids.

After we presented, along with two other M-A-W families, we stuck around a little while to dance. I already knew Gare was lucky with the kindergarten ladies, but I had no idea he could charm middle school girls.

Public appearance (No Comments)

Gareth, the bike, and I have been invited to make an appearance at a local Make-A-Wish fund raiser in order to convey just how great M-A-W is and what it has done for us. Here’s hoping our colds tone it down just long enough for us to say or do something inspirational.
