3rd Annual Riley Run!

It is that time again! :) We are blessed once again this year to be able to be a part of Hands on Jacksonville's Human Race 5k & 1 mile fun run. SATURDAY OCTOBER 9TH AT THE ST. JOHNS TOWN CENTER AT 8AM! It is a really fun race that wraps through the Town Center. Please click the link to the right for more information about the race and to download entry form, flyers, and info sheets.

Riley's expenses (after insurance benefits have been exhausted) are about $70,000.00 per year for her nighttime nursing care, medications, and medical equipment. This 5k is a HUGE way for us to help raise funds in order to ensure that we are able to give Riley the care that she needs. If you cannot participate in the race you donate directly to Riley's special needs trust fund by clicking the Online Giving Donate button to the right. It is hard to put into words how truely thankful we are for your support and donations. Just the fact that Riley is still here is in a big way due to the support we have recieved, without which we simply could not afford the eguipment and care she needs. So Thank you! Thank you for praying for and helping to support our precious Riley. It means to world to our family!

Hope to see you all at the Riley Run! :)

Dear Riley:

Our story made the local paper today, and it brought tears to the eyes of a friend of mine, whose little boy also sleeps with a frog just like me!

My friend says you may want to examine whether your parents can enroll you for Florida Kid Care, which is meant for children who are not Medicaid eligible, but who still need insurance for complex medical needs. It is a state of Florida mandated program, and she hopes it helps you. She gave me the link to share with you:

My friend is signing up for your walk. And she wishes you well!

Love,

Stinky Frog
