fundraising soon!

Very soon, I am starting a fundraiser in honor of Virginia's birthday.

I decided pretty quickly that I had to do something for her birthday every year that would really celebrate her life.  I discovered I wanted to do a fundraiser every year.  So I kept my eyes open, and decided on fundraising for March of Dimes, and marching in the March for Babies in October.  I was going to wait to start taking donations until closer to her birthday, but I think I want to start it sooner.

I love the idea of fundraising for March of Dimes, because they fund research to prevent prematurity and stillbirth, and they help babies born prematurely to live.  They work in preventing death of babies, and that is incredibly important to me.  I feel like my particular calling has been to find a way for more research to be done.  It is most important to me that we find ways to prevent it from happening, better ways than what exist right now.

There are more and more moments these days that it dawns on me that all of this is real, she's really gone.  I'm starting to believe it.  I will never understand why, but she is.  And she deserves to be celebrated.  So, we are going to show just how much good she can do, and how much of a difference she can make.
