Mark your calendars early!

Jackson and Duncan at about five weeks, reunited for the first time when Duncan came home from the hospital.

So many of you know Duncan, Tricia and Scott's beloved baby boy who passed away this past October from complications stemming from Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, this amazing little boy has tought all of us so much and we wanted to honor him at this year's HeartWalk. So, we are forming a team, for Duncan, I spoke with Tricia and Scott and they are looking forward to coming and being a part of everything (oooh, that means love on Jackson time!), so mark your calendars... August 23rd.

Yes, I know its early, but registration has already begun. We just need to establish our team (Becky is taking care of that and will be creating a website off of the American Heart Association so if you want to direct people who are willing to pledge money you can direct them there) and we will let you know the name to register under and what the website address is as soon as its created. The more the merrier, bring your family, bring friends, bring your dog. If you can get donations that would be wonderful, but most importantly just being there would be great.

We are trying to think of some team names, of course with Duncan's name in it... suggestions would be wonderful. Brianne Stewart Harman works at the AHA and is helping coordinate the entire event and is trying to get us a price break on Tshirts. Brianne, you rock! I am also looking into Tshirt for the little ones, so they dont feel left out!

I just wanted to put the word out early so we can see all of your beautiful faces that day! I know that so many of you have been deeply touched by Duncan's tremendous spirit and the Arthurs amazing strength and its so important to keep his legacy going. His sweet little heart made an impression on me that has forever changed me and I know many of you feel the same.

So, lets honor him and raise some money for a great foundation in his name!

I need:

1. Suggestions for the name of the team.

2. If you are going to sign up, what size tshirt you would want. (I am flashing back to Owl meetings!)

3. YOU- just being there with us all, is a gift in itself.

More to come... email me with any thoughts or questions you have emilyreplogle2004@yahoo.com

Love you all sweet sisters!
