Join Team Jacob!

Support a great cause and have fun while doing it!

The American Heart Association will be having the Start! Heart Walk on Saturday, September 18th beginning at 8am. I have started a team to help raise funds for this great cause. Of course I called our team "Team Jacob".

I know many of you are thinking that I am crazy for doing this with surgery only 2 weeks away and everything on my plate. Those of you who know me also know that I thrive on staying busy and it is actually a great distraction. Jacob's surgery is coming up very quickly. I of course am full of anxiety about that. This walk gives me a positive distraction. There is nothing I can do about Jacob's surgery. He has to have it. It is going to kill me to hand him over but I will be strong for him. By participating in this heart walk I am also fighting for him. I can't tell you how good it feels when I can help raise awareness and support heart disease. It is my passion and I feel like I am Jacob's voice. It gives me an opportunity to share our story and show why it is so important to raise money to help fund research. So yes I do have a lot on my plate but I chose to do something positive instead of dwelling on the my fear.

The walk is not until September. I am praying we are home by then but if for some reason we are not then it would be great to have people there supporting team Jacob. I at least want to be able to raise money for a great cause. If we are home and Jacob's doctors give us the ok I would love to decorate his stroller and walk him in the walk. I want Jacob to be proud of who he is and I am very excited to show my support for him and all of the other amazing kids who are fighting this battle.
