Rainbow Connection Walk for Kids

Our family is participating in the Rainbow Connection Walk for Kids tomorrow at the Detroit Zoo. We just received information on the event this week, so we haven't had much time to mention it or the fundraising that goes along with it.

The Rainbow Connection is a charitable organization that provides support and helps grant wishes to children in Michigan with life threatening illnesses. For those who want more information on the charity, you can visit their homepage here. Andrew qualifies for support from them because of his aplastic anemia. We have been talking to them recently, and it looks like they will be granting him a wish in the near future.

To those who would be interested in donating to the Rainbow Connection in Andrew's name, please visit his Rainbow Connection fundraising page here. They put together very nice(and expensive) wishes for children, and have a lot of available services for families going through difficult times. The fundraising page will be up long after the walk tomorrow, so you can make a donation afterwards if you want to.
