Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 my son Alex and I spent some time helping the March of Dimes at the Jail and Bail fundraiser in Fort Smith, AR. Alex's story was displayed on every table that the callers were sitting at. I also had the opportunity to speak with a few of the callers about Alex and his prematurity. But I must confess I spent a majority of the time chasing Alex around the resturant. I guess two year olds really do not like to sit still. Sigh! By the end of the event my legs were killing me from wearing high heels and chasing him. Thank you to everyone who help entertain and chase him!
I would like to thank Lonestar Steakhouse for hosting this event for the second year. The food was great and so was the service. Thank you for everyone who gave of their time to help raise funds for the March of Dimes. The money raised helps fight prematurity, birth defects, and low birth weight, It is their hope that one day all babies will be born healthy.
