This Saturday (August 29th), our incredible friends and family have put together the 2nd Annual Riley Turner Golf Tournament. For details about the tournament or to sign up to play please click on the link to the right. Last year everyone at the tournament had alot of fun and it helped to raise the funds needed to medically sustain Riley. Due to the astronomical cost of Riley's medications, medical supplies and machines, nightly nursing care, hospital and specialist fees, etc. there is no way we could make it with out the support - spiritual, emotional, or financial - of all our friends and family. Our insurance only covers so much and it has been the fund raisers and donations that have made caring for Riley possible as we work our way through the mountains of paper work and appeals in order to get any state medical assistance. God has been so amazing and has done much in our lives since Riley was born but I think one of the biggest lessons He has taught me is humility in receiving. It is not at all that I am too proud to receive help but in truth I would much rather be the one giving it than receiving it. God has taught me repeatedly the importance of accepting, asking for, and leaning on the assistance of others. So while we are asking for your continued support through events like the golf tournament, please know that we do not ask lightly. We are beyond grateful and truly humbled by the time, energy, support, and donations given by so many. So thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has so loving helped our family and we hope to see everyone next Saturday at the golf tournament.
Much Love,
The Turner Family
PS - We would just like to say a special thank you to the AMAZING John Hess, Shellie McCarry, Tiffany & Jason Vail, my ridiculously talented brother Matt New, and my loving father Ed New for all of the hard work you guys have put into this tournament. We love you!
