We did it! (April 22 & 27, 2008)

**WE DID IT!**

Angelia took part in the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon at her Preschool and Brandi walked in the March of Dimes March for Babies!

Angelia got to ride her bike in the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon at her Preschool on April 22nd. She was very excited to take her bike and helmet to school. The event was a big success! The kids had a great time riding their bikes and the Preschool raised over $5000.00 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital!

Brandi, along with Aunt Sharon and co-workers from work, walked in the March of Dimes March for Babies on 4/27. **We raised $275 for the MOD!** Since the chance of rain was evident (and it was a very early start), I decided not to take the kids... I walked for them! :) The walk was great... all 5 miles of it! It turned out nicer than expected... overcast, but cool... not a drop of rain during the walk!

Thanks to everyone who helped to sponsor us and these 2 wonderful organizations! Your kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated by MANY! :)

Help us support 2 WONDERFUL causes! (4/2008)

**MARCH OF DIMES**
We're at it again this year!! On Sunday, April 27th, Michael, the kids, and I will be walking at Mercer County Park for the March of Dimes' March for Babies! As you know, this is a GREAT organization and one that has touched our lives. We'd love for you to come out and walk with us. If you are interested in walking, please log on to www.marchofdimes.com and sign up. If you'd like to make a 1x donation to sponsor us & support the March of Dimes, please visit our page at http://www.marchforbabies.org/zerillitriplets

**ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL**
This month, Angelia will be participating in the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon with her preschool classmates. Her preschool is participating because (1) the program teaches them about bike safety, (2) the program teaches the children to give to those in need, & (3) it's a worthy cause. For this, though, presents an opportunity for people to "sponsor" Angelia (it's a 1x donation) and donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ... 85% of every dollar goes directly to research and treatment! :) If you'd like to make a donation to sponsor Angelia and support St. Jude, please let me know ... all donations will be submitted on the day of the Trike-A-Thon (4/22/08).

Thanks in advance for everything! Love from all of us....

Every baby has a story... (10/17/2007)

On Wednesday, October 17, the MARCH OF DIMES "Every Baby Has A Story" (Tour 2007) bus made one of it's first Nationwide stops in Trenton at Capital Health System @ Mercer hospital (where all 4 of my "babies" were born). During it's stop, we had the opportunity to take part in this event. Along with our friends-- the Wilke family, other families touched/helped by the MOD, hospital staff, etc., we all gathered in the parking lot of the hospital to check out the tour bus, tell "our babies' story", mingle, and have photo & TV ops! The bus was amazing to see, it was great to see all of the "little faces" and families touched by the MOD all together, and like many of the families there-- Michael, the kids, & I were even caught on camera-- and yes, we all appeared later that night on TV (on the local channel-- WZBN) along with my friend, Ann, and her quads. Did you get a chance to see the broadcast? ;)

The March of Dimes is such a WONDERFUL organization! It's for ALL babies... those born healthy and those that need help to survive. The March of Dimes makes MANY miracles of all kind happen! Please check out their website --> http://everybabyhasastory.com/ ... and-- while there, please take a moment to read some of the amazing "baby stories" and/or create one of your own for a special little "miracle" in your life. **I have to get to work on that and add "the triplets' story" to the site, as well-- stay tuned for details on that! Via the website, you have the opportunity to donate to the MOD, as well. Thank you for your continued support of our family, the March of Dimes, and all families touched by this wonderful organization!

Every baby has a story... and I love sharing my babies' stories with you! enjoy...
