A Beautiful Day



Inspired by the courageous spirit of our little red headed, green eyed girl, more than $2,000 was raised for Scottish Rite Hospital for Children on Sunday when Julia's Uncle Jimmy ran the White Rock Marathon.

We can never repay the world class care that Julia continues to receive from Scottish Rite Hospital. They are truly miracle workers and everything they do is 100 percent free to patients and their families. For parents of children with special needs, who are medically fragile, medical bills are overwhelming. Having all of Julia's orthopedic care provided, free of charge, by Scottish Rite has been a blessing to our family, and countless other families in Texas.

It is important to us to pay it forward by raising awareness and funds for Scottish Rite. Jimmy was the third highest fund-raiser this year due to the generosity of family and friends. We are so thankful for the many hours of training and all the miles run by Jimmy. It took an enormous amount of effort and dedication, and we will forever be grateful. Thank you for being our hero, Uncle Jimmy!
