Fairfax Strollathon


Lauren's team of walkers...These are the wonderful people who work with Lauren and help her make the amazing progress that we see.

Lauren really enjoyed the walk

Our Family

Yes, we did attend our 3rd Strollathon in 6 weeks today. This was the last and was our local Strollathon. This one was special because Lauren had a large crowd walking in her honor...her therapists and teachers. We were so thrilled that so many of them came. We had Ms. Rachel (Lauren's teacher), Ms. Diane and Ms. Gina(Lauren's IAs from school), Ms. Jill (Lauren's hippo and aquatic therapist), Ms. Kristen(her newest teacher at school), and Ms. Christi(one of her OTs) It was a wonderful morning. Lots of families were there and hopefully lots of money was raised. It started out pretty cold but was better by the end of the morning. Emily was excited to win a certificate for pottery painting in the silent auction. That was our contribution to this Stroll. The best thing I heard at the Strollathon?? "Your daughter is very high-functioning!" We have been blessed and we do not take it for granted. Lauren continues to do well. Praise the Lord!

Shawn just finished his last residency for the doctoral program he is in. He now has classes until June and then all that will be left is his dissertation. YAY! The end is almost in sight!

I hope you all have a great week. Thanks for all your prayers.
