5K Walk/Run for Riley

The 2nd Annual 5k walk/run for Riley is coming up on October 10th. Last year we had a great turnout and it was alot of fun. The funds raised at last year's run have been how we sleep at night . . . literally! Riley requires 24/7 monitoring and care so we pay for nurses to sit with her from 10pm till 6am each night so that we can sleep. Since our insurance benefits are limited and do not cover various aspects of Riley's medical needs, our out of pocket nursing expenses as well as the costs of medications, medical equipment, specialist fees, hospital bills, etc averages to over $70,000.00 per year. And even though Riley continues to make big improvements her need for nursing care and all of these other expenses has not changed. We have applied for several different programs and grants but have had very little success. So it is with great humility that we ask you all to consider taking part in the upcoming 5k. Even the smallest donations make a huge difference in our ability to make sure that Riley has the care she needs.
