The Asthma Walk

As you may or may not know, Michael was diagnosed with Asthma when he was in kindergarten. Since then, he has been on preventative medications to help him. He usually only has problems when he is sick, otherwise it doesn't seem to be an issue. We have recently stopped one of his medications and his body seems to be handling it just fine. We are hopeful that one day he will outgrow it.

Last year, Michael heard about the Asthma walk and wanted to participate in it. Unfortunally, it fell on Derby day so we told him that he wouldn't be able to do it. This year, he asked us as soon as he found out about the walk . We decided to put aside our selfishness :0) and let him do it. He ended up collecting $560 for the event. I believe he was 7th highest fundraiser in Nashville.

Kevin ended up walking with us, since it was raining and football was cancelled. The event was held at the zoo and he walked with the few people from his school team that showed up. Fortuantely, the rain held off for the most part during the walk. It was damp, but there were no downpours. The animals was quit active, so that made it fun. Thanks to all of you who supported him on this walk! It was a great event for a great cause!
