Our family is so grateful for all who joined us at our fundraiser or made a remote donation. On October 15, our family hosted its 5th annual Brain Games Cornhole Tournament & Family Fun Day. This event is our family's way to not only raise funds to further research, but also share a fun day and connect with our community (near and far) as well. Lincoln has supported us through diagnosis & treatment, offered kindness & support in ways we could have never imagined, and helped extend our efforts far beyond our expectations. The day itself has grown to be something personally special to us, but even more so having so many be a part of it makes the journey less lonely. We know that many of you have your own stories & hurdles, and are honored to have you as part of ours.
Lincoln Real Estate Team (Jeannine Taylor & Jessica Packineau) sponsored the cornhole tournament for the 5th year- THANK YOU! We're especially grateful for Lincoln's Cory Flint Photography for spending the day capturing moments we are able to look back on and savor. Dan Pereira spent plenty of personal time making sure our event was a success in the park. There are COUNTLESS others in town that contributed hours of their days pulling details together to make the day run smoothly- and we could not have made things work without you! It really does take a village, and we are grateful for this one we are in! As we have mentioned before, 100% of our fundraisers have subsidized Dr. Ed Smith's research at Boston Children's Hospital. Our inaugural 2019 event went toward advancing a new surgical procedure, which our daughter later needed, twice. Our 2020 & 2021 event fully funded research which discovered only the second gene sequence the disease mutation can be found. Our children's genetic testing will further benefit from the finding. You have each played a part in making this research happen, which in the end, has helped our daughter. Our family does not take any bit of this for granted. Our thank you is a little delayed- we have been putting together a special video that gives a little sneak peak into the impact that our fundraiser has made in research this past year. We (and you) were able to provide funding for research where funding would not usually exist. Our daughter's surgeon took the time to help explain your part in this. Thank you so much for helping us "push the needle forward" for Moyamoya research, and being our village. (Feel free to forward, share, post, and pass along to those who we may have missed or you think would enjoy the update) Save the date for next year, October 20, 2024!!
