Event for a Cause

A couple who's wedding vows I witnessed (and been friends of the bride and family since my seminary days) send along a personal note which I was asked to share:

Please join us for Vivian's Victory: a fun, family event to support our daughter and son in law Maria and Rod  Dunlap and their sweet daughter, Vivian, who has been diagnosed in the womb with a congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrom (HLHS). To learn more about the Dunlaps and their journey of love with Vivian, visit their blog. Our younger daughter Clare, when she found out about Vivian, decided to make this walk her senior capstone project which is a requirement for Mount Notre Dame seniors.  It has not only been a journey of faith with Rod and Maria but a joy to watch her sister work so hard as a 17 year old to try to pull this big event together
She has delegated to Tim and I emailing our contacts and the silent auction!

The big day is Saturday July 14th at 10 am and the  festivities begin with a 5K Walk/Run at beautiful Winton Woods. The proceeds of the walk will go to 1 heart 2 souls,  a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting expectant parents with poor prenatal prognosis for birth disabilities and infant loss, parents like Rod and Maria Dunlap.

Following the walk, stay to enjoy a family picnic with burgers from JTM. Throughout the morning, you can participate in a Silent Auction filled with fabulous baskets your whole family will enjoy. Proceeds from the Silent Auction will go to the Dunlap Fund.

For more details and to register to attend, please visit the event website: www.viviansvictory.eventbrite.com.
