Jumping Rope for Heart

Graisi is jumping rope for the American Heart Association this year. She will be jumping in memory of her brother, Grant. For those who may not know, we had a little boy almost eight years ago (where has the time gone??) who died from 3 severe congenital heart defects. He died in surgery trying to repair one of the problems. This year Graisi would like your help to raise money to help prevent birth defects in infants. New breatkthoughs are happening, but with more funding, technology can do so much more. Please consider helping Graisi and make a donation in Grant's memory.

Please copy and paste the below link into your browser and it will take you directly to Graisi's webpage. The online donations can only be made with a minimum of $25. We will take any amount you would like to donate. If you wish to donate less, please let me know and I'll forward you our home address.

Thank you again for your support!!
Martin, Shelli, Graisi and Alli Claire
and our beautiful baby boy, Grant

Shelli,

I have a friend who wants to send a donation less than $25. Could you email me your home address? I think the one I have may be old. I won't post it on my site, but I'll email it to my friend separately.

It's so great that Graisi is doing this.

Thanks for commenting about the donations. My friend Loralee lost a son a few years ago to SIDS, so Grant's story is really hitting home for her.

Hope you guys are doing well.
