Dylan is now officially a tv star and radio interview expert. You see, we are currently on the committee for the Seattle Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center's 2006 Golf Marathon which is occurring on July 10th. Mommy (me) helped with the committee last year and we were able to raise a little over $25,000. This year, we were asked to help again and Dylan gets to be the poster child! So in our efforts to raise money, we have had radio interviews and a couple of weeks ago, Dylan (well, Mommy) was interviewed by KVOS TV to see if we could gain more sponsors. Let me tell you, Mommy was nervous but Dylan was his charming self.
This fundraiser means alot to us. Children's Hospital is where Dylan spent the first couple of months of his life and then where he had his open-heart surgery. This hospital also helps thousands of kids each year regardless if they are insured or not and our fundraiser benefits their uncompensated care program and the Children's Miracle Network. We have partnered up with WalMart and KISM Radio this year in hopes to raise even more money.
It is our hopes to raise at least $50,000 this year. I normally don't like to solicit friends and family for charity but we would be greatly honored if you would like to donate to Children's Hospital in Dylan's name. To do so, you can visit the following website:

Hopefully, we will be successful in reaching our goal and I will certainly keep you informed of our progress.
Thank you!
