Sharing Our Story

A few months ago, Team Field participated in the American Heart Association's Start! Heart Walk.  We had so much fun and we were blown away by all of our family and friends that came out to support us.  In fact, we had so many supporters of Team Field, that we won an award for raising the most money in the "community teams" category.  We give all of our gratitude to those who supported Team Field and all the glory to Him for making Team Field a success.

After the Heart Walk our local AHA chapter kept our family in mind and then just recently asked us to share our story at the American Heart Association's Heart Ball this coming Saturday night.  This is a night of glitz and glam, but more importantly, a night to raise awareness and funds for heart research.  We are honored and blessed to be this year's "Passion Family" for the American Heart Association.  We have a 5 minute speaking opportunity where Brad and I will share the story of our amazing son, Field.  We hope that our story will be both encouraging and inspiring and that those with the funds will feel led to donate to the American Heart Association to support all that they do for heart research.

To say we are a little nervous about speaking is a SLIGHT understatement - yikes!  But on the other hand, dressing up and enjoying a nice night out for a cause that is near and dear to our hearts is worth the tangled up nerves in our stomachs.  Gulp.

I'll keep you all posted on how it goes...
