A Break from Ava

Not too long ago I took a 2 1/2 day trip away from Ava and Becky on business. Here's the story:

I recently took part in a project with Kim Moffat of 0323 Productions (and my beloved cousin!) where we visited NYC for the "Tunnel to Towers Run." The story of Stephen Siller is below, as is the run information. I was so inspired by this event and the spirit of NYC, that I plan to run in next years race to raise money for these great people. I'd like to give everyone a heads up now, that I'll be taking pledges and/or straight donations for this race.

I plan to pay for the trip on my own (or take a separate donation), but any money I raise will go to the Stephen Siller “Let Us Do Good” Children’s Foundation. This foundation helps fund amazing organizations like a top notch burn center, a place for kids whose firefighter parents died in the line of duty, and other non profits. This year they donated to firefighters in New Orleans. Even when the guys and women in NYC could use this money, they pay it forward to someone else in the brotherhood. It's an amazing thing. So keep this in mind, and think about what you'd like to do. Any donation or help in the trip could be a Christmas, birthday or other gift. I would imagine it's also tax deductible if that's important to you. I'll get back in touch later in the year with a kind reminder. Of course, anyone you can think to pass this along to would be appreciated as well. Take of of each other.

I'll let you know when you can see more on Kim's project. It should (will) be amazing.

I'll have more through the year via email or on the blog. Cheers.
