Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2009. Mattie's support community organized and hosted the Mattie March in his honor. If you look closely, Mattie was in the center of the crowd, surrounded by ALL his health care team, close friends, and cousins.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 28,771,556
- Number of people who died from the virus: 518,900
Do you believe it is possible to be glued to a computer all day trying to create a website? If you have any doubt, that was how I spent my day. I am not happy that our walk website company upgraded their platform. It adds another level of complexity to our May event. Thankfully I found this out NOW and I did not wait until the end of March. I even had a nightmare last night that I wouldn't be able to figure out this new configuration. It kept me up until I went back to sleep.
Any case, I walked Sunny today and after his walk, I focused on the walk website! I figure if I take it in small dosages, it will get done and I won't be overwhelmed. Yet I have noticed now that non-profit events have a new look on how they introduce themselves to the public. What do I mean? Well instead of just going to our website to register, first there appears to be a landing page that highlights our Foundation and provides a history of the event. From there people can click onto the actual event page with registration.
Every aspect of running the Foundation has always been about LEARNING and staying current. Because if we don't, no one else is going to be doing it for us. So that means, for me, learning technology and understanding what it can do for us, because during Walk season, team members typically contact me with technical issues and concerns, and I have to be able to figure out the problem.
