Team Jack-A-Roo

As a parent of a child with medical needs, especially a genetic disorder, it doesn't feel like there is much we can do about it. We give Jack his medicine, we take him to his appointments, we wright everything down for the doctors, we watch him like a hawk. Beyond that, we feel pretty powerless as far as helping our son goes. But this, this is something we can do to help him...

I don't have much time to explain all of this so I will do a more detailed post soon but I wanted to get this out there.

I have some friends who decided to walk for Jack. What that means is that they are raising money in Jack's name for Tuberous Sclerosis research and walking for a cause.

I've never understood walking for a cause before, but having a child with a rare genetic disorder means that it is under funded and under research and all of a sudden, I get it. And I would walk a million miles for this kid if it meant finding a cure.

These friends have gotten together to support us and those with TSC. People all over the country are walking (and raising money) in Jack's name. I can't even begin to tell you how touched I am. I never asked them to do it, one of them just say "hey, I'm doing this" and others joined in. Every time I think about it, it moves me to tears. Jack has fans everywhere, people praying, rooting him on, and donating of their time and money to help him out.

We will be going to Dallas on May 15th to walk. If you can, please join our team and walk with us. If you can make a donation, however small or large, we would be so grateful.

The money goes towards supporting TSC, doing research in areas such as epilepsy, autism, and tumors.

And hopefully by that date, Jack will be walking too! If not, I'm sure he'll be glad to crawl across the finish line.

Here are the links of where to donate. It doesn't matter which one you choose, they are all in Jack's name.
