If you are cleaning out your house/garage/storage building/etc and have ANY items you would like to donate, please let me or Leah know! Pickup can be arranged.
Tetiana (Tanya) will be 16 this month and was able to spend four weeks here this summer.
This is the day she left to go back to Ukraine- see how puffy her beautiful eyes are from crying?! She's ready to be home with her FAMILY.
{Follow up post coming with another way to help! Think coordinating outfits!}
2) The 11th Annual Pumpkin Run is scheduled for Saturday, October 5th at White House City Park! It is a 5K (for runners or a walk or anything in between!), and an awesome community event. You probably know by now that it was started in memory of my grandfather (Parker Crunk) and benefits the American Heart Association, so obviously important to me. It really is a fun day (and the door prizes are worth mentioning!!).
Sign up HERE please :)
Would love to see some of my IR4 buddies there!!
3) It's Buddy Walk time!!
Team ANNIE SUNSHINE knocked it out of the park last year raising awareness for Down Syndrome and donating to the Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee (DSAMT). Let's do it again, shall we?!
PLEASE join us on October 19th at Centennial Park in Nashville. Festivities begin at 9:00a and we start walking at 11:00a. We will proudly wear our bright yellow for our own Annie Sunshine :)
Register to be a part of our team HERE.
Walking is free! If you do wish to donate, you can also do that thru the link and any funds raised will be used for families with a new diagnosis, support groups, summer camps, Educational Workshops for caregivers, Community Outreach Training & information to schools, Family Connection Activities, among other things.
If you plan on walking with us to show support for Anna Gray's awesomeness (wink wink), and need an Annie Sunshine t-shirt, send me your sizes by October 1st. The Annie Sunshine shirts are $10 (paid to us to cover cost).
COME ONE, COME ALL!
Bring a friend (but register with our team if you can!).
On a related note,
4) Come by Maggie Moos in Hendersonville tomorrow night (Thursday, Sept 5th) between 5:30-8:30! It is Celebrity Scoop Night to raise money for the Buddy Walk and benefit DSAMT! I'll be there scooping and you might even see my own little celebrity ;)
Recap
Your to-do list:
Clean out to bring Tanya home, run for hearts and pumpkins, walk for Anna Gray and Down Syndrome Awareness, eat ice cream. Easy right??
XOXO
