Monday, May 22, 2023Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2009. We were all in attendance at the Mattie March. T-shirts were made for the event, and the image on it was priceless. A graphic artist worked it up and when I saw it, I suggested that Mattie's face be added onto it. The shirt featured kids marching together, holding up supportive signs. To me this shirt will always be a classic. In this particular photo you will see that Mattie was surrounded by his hospital friends. His buddy Brandon was holding a cup filled with tent moth caterpillars that Mattie found that day and one caterpillar was even crawling on Mattie's arm! At a very busy event, with a ton going on, I think this was a very tender moment between friends captured on camera.

This morning I had the opportunity to announce the winners of the step count competition from our Walk event on Sunday. Many of our winners are loyal attendees of our Walks and they have even won awards in the past. Two of our winners are from outside our National Capital Area..... Florida and Wisconsin to be exact. Our first place winners receive an $100 VISA gift card, our second place winners receive a $75 VISA gift card, and our third place winners receive a $50 VISA gift card.

Peter is a humble fellow, but given all that he has endured the last few years, finding a job that is the right fit for his skills and talents is a big deal in my book. Congrats Peter!!!
