Heart Walk tomorrow - please donate

Tomorrow we walk for the American Heart Association, Caelen and all of our heart warrior friends. We are $875 short of our goal, sooo close!  I'm putting out a last minute request to try and reach our goal. 

2 years ago today Caelen was struggling after his third open heart surgery, and ultimately crashed in the early morning hours of September 27, spending 5 days on ECMO. Reliving those vivid memories is heartbreaking. But because of amazing doctors and nurses, and advancements in medical technology through fundraising for the AHA, Caelen is still here, and now a VIP walker tomorrow. This is why this fundraiser is so important to us. 

I know that many of us are strapped financially, and there are many good causes to donate to right now. But if you are able, please help Caelen reach his goal. 

And Thank you again to all that have donated already and gotten us so close to our goal. We are so appreciative for your help. 

Caelen's dad Martin has played a big part in our fundraiser this year, and his help with his friends and colleagues has been tremendous.  Thank you Martin for being such a huge help!

Thank you all,

2014 Heart Walk

Hello all,
It's that time of year again, the annual Palm Beach Heart Walk benefiting the American Heart Association. I've been fundraising for a few weeks now via emails, Facebook and social media, but just realized I never updated the blog.  Oops...but there's still time.  9 days left until Caelen, Troy, friends and family walk in West Palm.  Caelen's beautiful mug is even going to be on a banner this year at the walk :)

Our goal is to raise $10,000 this year between Troy and Caelen, and we are so close!  Out of all the teams walking, we are in the top 4 with only 9 days to go, thanks to all of the wonderful friends that have donated!  All funds raised by Troy and Caelen are going directly to pediatric congenital heart defects research, so we can continue to help Caelen and many others like him.

Originally Troy and I decided just to fundraise off of his page, but there was some confusion, and donations have been made to his page, Caelen's page, and our general team page.  But it's all good, all money donated to our team, Bravehearted, goes towards our $10,000 goal.  Please help if you are able to.  No amount is too big or too small.  And if you prefer to write a check, there is an option to print the form (once you click the Give Now button on the upper right), or I can email you the form.

Thank you to all who have already donated, thank you cards are slowly being mailed out.  I will get to the rest after Disney.  I'm taking Caelen up for the day tomorrow to give him a break from all the therapies and doctor appointments.  Hopefully cooperate and I'll get some good pics of him.

Love, Katye and Caelen
