Heart Ball

I just received an email from the Director of Communications & Marketing at the American Heart Association and wanted to share what she said.

She and the other people at the AHA were very impressed with my speech last week at the CEO breakfast. They are thinking of incorporating some of my comments into the script for the Heart Ball which is held on Feb 2nd. They are doing a special piece on Children' Health and wanted to know if I had speaking points written down that I could share with them.

I can't explain how excited I am right now. The CEO breakfast was the first step I took in bringing awareness to the community and even though it was a small group of people, there are doors being opened for larger things. The Heart Ball is a huge things in our community and I am so honored that they would want to incorporate my notes. It doesn't matter whose the one saying them as long as they are said.

We need to be a voice for those who don't have one. I have been battling with the loss of sweet baby Kate. She was such a blessing and even though we only knew her for a short time I felt as if she was family. I feel like I need to do things in honor of all the children that have lost the battle against CHDs and the ones still fighting.
