I got a really late start this morning and got to see some exciting advances in Caden’s physical therapy. The video speaks for itself. Please see the fundraising announcement below as well.

Attention Cyclists
A co-worker has asked me if I would help put the word out on a great fundraising event happening in a few weeks. Here is what Kelly had to say in an email to me today:
My father’s church (my dad is the pastor) is holding their 3rd annual Tour De Round O Bicycle Ride. The Tour began three years ago as a benefit for my boyfriend Stephen after his accident and has continued over the last few years as a benefit to a local in need. This year, the beneficiary is an infant girl who underwent heart transplant surgery in July. As you well know, the ongoing medical costs can be rather daunting and we would like to help her family.
What: 40 mile benefit bicycle ride
Where:
Bethlehem Baptist Church
12898 Round O Rd
Round O (Colleton County) , SC
When: Saturday, October 14, 2006 8:00 AM
Details as found at Active.com
“The Tour de Round O is a 40 mile benefit bicycle ride sponsored by Bethlehem Baptist Church in Round O. This is Bethlehem’s 3rd year sponsoring the event, with all proceeds of this year’s ride benefiting Teyonnia Lambert. Teyonnia, who was born on January 28th, underwent heart transplant surgery in July. To keep her in good health, Teyonnia must take 11 different medications and visit a specialist monthly. This year’s ride will help to supplement the mounting costs of Teyonnia’s care.”
I can not impress upon you how import it is for us all to help those in need. Our family has certainly seen medical expenses and tons of no medical expenses caused by long hospital stays. Caden set a single day record for pediatric heart surgery according to one lady in the MUSC billing department. Thank God for insurance and the support we have received from so many sources. Please help this family if you are able.
Please pass along a link to the details of this event to anyone who might be remotely interested. This event will take place in a neighboring county about 30 miles west of here.
