I wanted to give a big THANK YOU to the Richards Family for sponsoring me at the March of Dimes, March for Babies walk coming this weekend! I, along with my colleagues from work, will be walking 5 miles to raise awareness for babies born prematurely.
Courtney + Matt's little Meredith was born prematurely in Italy last year. I can not imagine how scary that was for them, especially being so far away from all of their family and friends back in the US. I checked in on posts about Meredith constantly, and as you can see she appears to be a very healthy, thriving little girl.
I added the March for Babies "badge" sometime last week to my blog....mostly I just figured my mothers would sponsor me. Ha, I haven't really even mentioned it to them yet; we are also raising money at work through things like buying the right to wear jeans. Anyway, I was really surprised to see such a generous donation from a friend.
So, again, Courtney, thank you SO much! It really means a lot to me, and now I have someone in mind as me and the girls walk our 5 miles. We'll be doing it for Meredith and so other families maybe won't have to go through what you did in the future! (Courtney - I'm so sorry about the previous mix up too, I've never known so many Courtneys!)
