Grace's Plaque

Hi Everyone,

Kuku (Ian's mom), Nana, Papa, Ian, Eli and I went to Sick Kids Hospital yesterday afternoon to meet with our fund manager and take pictures of Grace's Plaque being put up in the Donor Hall of Honor. Her plaque is currently in the section recognizing those who have contributed up to $50,000 but it will move in the spring since shortly after the cut for this years calculation and once all of the funds from the walk were submitted, her fund jumped to $55,009.68. WOW! Our fund manager told us that it takes many families 5 to 10 years to reach these levels of fundraising that we accomplished in under 2 years. I told her that we were so fortunate to have a wonderful network of support, friends and family who are aware of how important it is to Ian and I to continue to "parent" Grace in her physical absence via fundraising for the hospital and volunteering via BrianChild. I want to make sure each and everyone of you are aware of how much it means to Ian and I to have your support. It is only through your generous contributions that we have been granted the opportunity for our baby Grace to be forever remembered via her plaque at the hospital where she courageously battled for her life for 11 months. Thank you so very much. We are forever indebted.

Mama misses you baby.
