Walk America Kick-Off

As you probably know, my wife and I had a son born 15 weeks premature last summer. I'm happy to report that he is doing great and progressing at an exponential rate. However, every year thousands of babies are born premature and they do not achieve such a positive outcome. Our son, Carson, spent several months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Mayo Clinic and we had the chance to meet several families who are still struggling.

My wife and I have agreed to be the "Ambassador Family" for the 2007 Walk America walk for the March of Dimes. We're proud to be the "face" for this event and a symbol for the advancements made by the March of Dimes. Without their research, many of the live-saving technologies they used on Carson would not have been available.

We have been blessed with a healthy child and want to give back both emotionally and financially. We have set a goal to raise $5000 as "Team Carson" and would love for you to join us. We would like for you to either walk with us or make a donation towards this great cause. If you're a customer of CWS, we'll even provide a credit to your account for 50% of your tax-deductable donation (up to $500 maximum per client). For example, if you donate $100 to the March of Dimes through the link above, we'll issue a $50 credit to your account.

Please join us Thursday, February 22nd at 6PM for the official Rochester WalkAmerica 2007 Kick-Off!! It will be held at the Eagle's Club at 917 15th Ave. S.E. (formerly the Elk's Lodge). Hamburger's will be provided and there will be music by classic hits 107.7 KLCX thanks to generous sponsors.

Thank you for supporting the mission of the March of Dimes and we look forward to seeing you on Feb 22nd (yes, Carson will be there) and walking with you on April 28th!
