Here's why we are raising funds... Those days, the ones immediately following and still 11 years later have been filled with God's love and faithfulness. Our family was there, supportive, helpful and continue to be every one of those things, 11 years later. Our church family was there, supportive, helpful and continue to be so in the days and years following. Our friends were there, supportive, helpful and continue to be so 11 years later. We raise funds because we have become aware over the past 11 years that our story is special, yet not unique. There are grieving families all over our country. Families grieving their STILLborn baby, their multiple miscarriages and/or their infertility struggles. Some of them have support like we had, some have immediate support however it doesn't last through the years and still others lack the support. We have been introduced to Missing Grace Foundation, a Minnesota based non-profit that is doing the consistent and necessary work of offering care and support to these families. This December we will celebrate Mady's 11th birthday. 11 years later and Missing Grace still sends us a card on that day! Every September we here our daughter's name read aloud. Every September we get a chance to be with other families who KNOW. There is something special in that moment! We give for these reasons. Please join us in giving towards the work of Missing Grace by making a generous donation to our Team page! It would mean a lot to us if you would also join us on September 15th to walk, run and remember all these precious babies gone too soon. We hope to help further the important work this organization does for grieving families.
