As many of you know, our son Landon was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and hospitalized for 3 weeks last year and for 2 more weeks the beginning of this year. You can read more about some of that by clicking HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE. His whole story is yet to be written and I just cannot bring myself to do it yet. Getting this much written has been incredibly challenging emotionally. One day, when the time is right, I will finish it.
Anywhoo, my main reason for his post is to introduce The Love 4 Landon Foundation, which is our non-profit organization we have started in honor of our sweet, strong Boy Wonder. We hope to do some really BIG things for others who suffer from IBD. You can learn more about The Love 4 Landon Foundation by visiting our WEBSITE and our FACEBOOK PAGE.
We have a bunch of fundraising events planned in the coming months to help fund our 2nd Annual L4L Gala which will take place Spring of 2013. There are many ways to help! Check our website and Facebook page for opportunities.
This is something I am passionate about. I want to give back and help others in the ways we have been helped. The last year has been incredibly challenging for our family and we've been blessed beyond measure by our family, friends and support network. We would not be where we are today if not for all of the blessings we've received.
Landon is the reason for all of this. He is awesome. Period.
What a great thing to do!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! We are looking forward to the opportunity to help many!
