Shane's Gang is back in action!!

I love the New Year - because it`s time once again to think about our little angel Shane, and for our annual March for Babies walk in memory of him!

I`m so excited for this year & I think it's going to be a very successful walk!! I`ve picked a walksite that is both closer AND much shorter than the Lakefront walk! It`s 1/2 the distance and much closer to home! I`m really hoping that this will bring out more walkers this year! I thought it would be easier for families with kids to bring them along in their wagons or strollers this year! I'll keep you all up to date, but since it's a shorter walk, we might even have a little get together for lunch & goodies at our house after the walk...more info to come on that...stay tuned!

We will be walking this year on Sunday, April 25, 2010
at the Promenade Bolingbrook Mall in Bolingbrook, Illinois.
Registration starts at 8:00 AM and the walk starts at 9:00 AM.

Wanna help us? There are 2 ways!
First, all you have to do is visit the team's website by clicking here - http://www.marchforbabies.org/team/t1300753 -
and then click on either "Join This Team" (in the center of the page) or "Donate to This Team" (on the left side of the page).

If you want to donate:
You can donate ANY amount you'd like to - every single little bit counts and is MUCH appreciated! You can donate to any specific walker on our team, by clicking on their name (at the bottom of the team page) or you can make a team donation by using the link above.

If you want to walk with us:
When you click on "Join This Team", you will then set up your own site to collect donations for our team. Whether you get no donations or just a little something, you can still walk with us! You can also email me, the team captain, @ dadoo12704@yahoo.com and let me know if you'd like to purchase a Shane's Gang t-shirt for the walk! They are white long sleeved cotton t-shirts, very nice! They run about $20, maybe a little less if I have a big order. I can send you a picture of one if you'd like to see them. You can also change the style if you'd like to a regular t-shirt, or even a hoodie!

Whichever way you decide you'd like to help, every single year we truly appreciate you thinking of our little boy Shane and all the other babies out there that need the March of Dimes help.

Let's make this Shane`s Gang`s BIGGEST year yet!

Love and thanks to you all,
Shane's Family - Mike, Carrie, Miles, & Owen
And all the team members, past or present, of Shane's Gang!
