Tonight's picture is one of my favorites. It was taken in May of 2006. Mattie was four years old. You will notice he was holding a photo. That photo remains on our refrigerator. But I had Mattie hold the photo and stand next to the coffee table. My point was to show Mattie how much he had grown in a few short years. Using the table as our benchmark. Don't you just love that smile?

Mattie Miracle's 10th anniversary Walk is just days away. It is hard to believe, because in reality I feel like I just planned 2018's walk a minute ago.
It is the challenge of having to fundraise, as it takes a great deal of energy, passion, and persistence. Each year I worry whether we are going to meet our goal. But what I am finding is our supporters are really stepping up to make the tenth anniversary a memorable one. Here are more specifics behind the thermometer:
- We have 35 corporate and individual Walk sponsors this year who in total have donated $53,000
- We have 17 Walk teams and in total they have raised in pledges $30,000
- Which leaves about $19,000 coming in from donations, Walk registrations and our on-line raffle
