Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2004. Mattie was almost two years old. That weekend we took him to the Children's Museum in DC. In one of the rooms, they featured vehicles... modes of transportation. From an early age Mattie loved anything that moved and had wheels. He was mesmerized by cars, trains, planes, trucks, buses, you name it! Though Mattie was a bit timid in the museum, he definitely wanted to explore the motorcycle and the fire truck!

We took Sunny to Roosevelt Island today. Something we would normally do on the weekends with Mattie. Sunny enjoys the adventure, almost as much as Mattie did! Along our walk today, we met MANY other dogs and their owners. We also met children who ran up to Sunny and wanted to pet him. A usual occurrence really.
However, look who Sunny found. Do you see this deer camouflaged in the trees?
The rest of the day, we have been glued to the computer. Each of us is re-vamping a portion of the 2018 Mattie Miracle Walk website. I wish I could say this is an easy task, but it can take hours! We made headway, but it isn't done yet. Nonetheless, by the end of this month (or sooner), the site will go live. We switched providers of our Walk website about three years ago. It was an important change as this site has the capability of handling registration, raffle tickets, and keeping a leader board. The leader board inspires competition between Walk teams, as individuals can see how much each team is raising toward our $85,000 walk goal. This Walk website also enables us to showcase aspects of our event, explains why we are raising money, and details what the money supports. It would be hard to host our Walk event on our Foundation website, as the Foundation website doesn't have the capability to manage event registrations. So stay tuned more about the Walk is coming soon!
