Congratulations to the Marshall Family of California for organizing such an inspiring, successful event — Micah’s March 2009.
Here’s how Chelsea, Micah’s Mom, describes the event on their blog:
Wow what an amazing night. First I wanted to thank Nikki (my sister-in-law) and Cristin (an amazing friend) for the hard work and the time they spent getting everything organized for this fundraiser. I love you guys and I don’t even have words for how much this means to me. I can’t believe it. Nikki and Cristin have been wanting to get together and do something for the research that going on for SMA for some time now and thanks so much to Bill and Victoria, the Unite for the Cure challenge presented the prefect opportunity to do this. In less than 2 months they decided what they wanted to do and when , got sponsors, walkers, the event, place, food, music and shirts made!!! I had nothing to do with this except it was in honor of my sweet son, Micah.
The turnout was amazing, I still cant believe it. We had over 100 walkers and we raised over $10,000!!!!!! Yeah! I got to see so many people I haven’t seen in a while and got to meet some new wonderful people. Bill and Victoria were there with the beautiful Miss Gwendolyn and I got to meet grandma and auntie. I had so much fun! I had no idea so many people loved my son and were willing to support us as we try to cure this awful monster.
Way to go Marshall Family! We are so proud of you guys!
