Walked for Hope

Sorry for the delay in posts...don't know what the problem is. Life is busy. Planning D's 2nd birthday party, getting his Halloween set up (spoiler alert, he's going to be a gorilla!), and work, etc.

Also we had the Walk for Hope this past Saturday. It was amazing. There was a HUGE turnout and the Team Andrea group seemed to have grown quite a bit as well!


I'm so proud to report that Dain & I raised $347.00! We beat our last year total! All in all the Team Andrea group raised more than $2400 for Mutual Ground. What an amazing effort. I'm still waiting to hear the final tally for all the teams. But I will keep you all posted.

In the spirit of awareness for domestic violence, I wanted to post a link to this amazing lead article to a series of features on domestic violence awareness through the Aurora Beacon. In this article, Dain's aunt Patty was interviewed, and she left us all with some very powerful words.

Thanks for posting that link, Marie. That grief will never end for those left behind. Andrea was so beautiful and sweet. Her murder changed the Meyer family forever. Give Dain (and you) a hug from your Aunt Jess. I am proud that you both are doing something to give hope to others.

See you guys soon and happy 2nd b-day to little D this weekend! Wish I could be there for the partay!
