Month: May 2009

  • elizabeth_hospital


    As many of you know my daughter Elizabeth was diagnosed never to walk again November 2007 after a spinal stroke left her with extensive paralysis. As an answer to prayer she surprised everyone by walking again 5 months later. When she heard that her hospital was doing a walk to raise money, she wanted to do the walk (this will be a challenge for her) hoping to encourage others to walk with her and support the cause.

    PSE&G Children’s Specialized Hospital is in New Brunswick. The walk starts at 10:15 am and ends at 11:30 am on May 30th. See the website to sign up to walk and for directions.

    Only two days left to join the walk – or even better to donate! The children that are in this hospital – we knew upclose. One girl – nine-year-old cried in her hospital bed for hours. “I just want to feel,” the teary girl told her mother. “I just want to move.” She couldn’t wiggle a toe, flex a finger, or scratch an itch.

    Please donate – there are numberous seriously injured children which need the services of such a specialized hospital. Donations can be as small as $20! That’s the price of four Java Chip Frappuccino at Starbucks!

  • The Wall Street Run (5K)

    Last week I ran in the Wall Street Run in Lower Manhattan.   My time was a personal best (24:17) – and it was a fun event for everyone.   Two things which were different in this race is how narrow the beginning and end were – which prevented me from passing people.    Most of the run was in the shade – until the end when you run along the Hudson River – then the sun was blinding.
