Hi friends! Many of you know our family has been on its own winding healthcare journey over the years, and we understand first hand how critical it is to have a village of people supporting you through it all. You surrounded Kevin with love when he was diagnosed with melanoma, rallied around me through years of breast cancer and related treatments, and poured out your love as Josie navigated eye surgery and complications. Now it's time for us to pass that love and support forward, and once again, we are asking you to join us for the ride!

This year, I'm participating in Shoe Crew 2026, a fundraiser supporting Ronald McDonald House Delaware! I’ve always been passionate about helping both children and families navigate life's challenges, and this fundraiser does just that! Every donation—big or small—helps families with children as they face difficult healthcare situations.

To heal, kids need the love of their families just as much as they need medicine. Ronald McDonald House Delaware provides housing and support services for families, so they can stay close to their children throughout treatment. These services help remove barriers and promote healing when children need healthcare while also reducing the financial strain on families during a physically, emotionally and mentally difficult time. Since 1991, over 50,000 families have found a community of comfort and support at the Ronald McDonald House in Delaware.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!
• Let Companies Know: Share this information with small businesses throughout our area who would like to help! The power of small businesses in our community could really have a HUGE impact.

Thank you for continuing to be part of our village!
