Paps Update

Most of you know that my grandpa had surgery yesterday. He had a tumor removed and as of last night he is doing well. He was recovering in a regular room - didn't even have to stay in ICU. They didn't have to remove the kidney, so we are all thankful! He is my real life super hero...amazing 89-year-old grandpa!!!! Thanks for everyone's prayers and thoughts!

Memory Walk - Asking for your support!


Although Alzheimer's has left my Grams as a shell of a person these days...she still holds a very special place in my heart. I have decided that this is the cause I want to fully support - so I haven't asked for donations in a while with the hopes that you will consider making a donation to help me reach my goal and support efforts to find a cure to this dreaded disease. (NOTE THAT WE ARE RAISING MONEY AS A FAMILY ON THE PAGE THAT THIS LINK LEADS YOU TO. DAVE IS LISTED AS A TEAM MEMBER...BUT PLEASE MAKE YOUR DONATION ON THE LINKED PAGE!)

Our newest addition, Lyla is named after Grams...It is my hope that neither Edwin nor Lyla Betty will ever know what this disease is capable of because there will be a cure!

Thank you for your support!

Also, we would love to have you join us for the event. We will meet at our house in Newport and probably host a brunch following the event...so if you are in the Cincinnati/NOKY area on October 2nd...please sign up and join us for some family fun! Last year we took Edwin in his stroller. Check the website or let me know if you have any questions!!! I'll send specific details closer to the actual event.

If my plea for your support wasn't convincing...perhaps Edwin and Lyla will do the trick!!! Check out the video!

Thanks in advance for your support this year! Many blessings to you and your family!

Much love,

ABCs
