Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2003. Mattie was 15 months old and this was his first trip to the Outer Banks, NC and to the beach in general. That first visit was difficult. Mattie wanted to have nothing to do with the sand or the water. He did not like how the sand felt on his feet or the crashing sound of the ocean. Which is ironic because as Mattie got older and entered preschool, he developed a great affection for playing in and with sand! It is funny, when your child is a toddler you think that this challenging phase will never end. Now looking back, I wish it never had.

Tonight's posting will be short! It was another whirlwind of a day. Walk registrations keep coming in, which is a wonderful problem to have. The Foundation Walk has received an all time record high level of pre-registrations for Sunday. That is fabulous news as we are very committed to meeting our targeted goal of $40,000. This money helps us run our programs, and without it, we couldn't continue to support the psychosocial services we offer to children with cancer both at the local and national levels. For those of you who registered for the Walk, contributed, or bought raffle tickets...... we THANK YOU!!!
