It's that time of year again.... time once again for the Intermountain Healing Hearts "Walk for Healing Hearts."
So many of you know how near and dear to our hearts these children and their families are. This event allows us to spend time with them and raise money for the needs of the group. We love to invite each of you to join us, so that you can see these walking (and crawling) miracles. Being in their presence is truly a humbling experience!
The event will take place on Saturday, September 12th at the Riverview Park in Provo, which is the same location as last year. The event starts at 9:30 a.m. sharp. There will be same day registration beginning at 8:00 a.m. Early Registration is currently underway until August 26, 2009. To participate the registration fee is $10.00 per person or $50.00 per immediate family.
The "Walk for Healing Hearts" event includes:
T-shirts for each registered attendant.
One Mile Walk along the side of those wonderful Heart Heroes.
Angel Ceremony to recognize those IHH Heart Heroes that have lost their battle, but remain in our hearts forever....never to be forgotten!
Wonderful Door Prizes! (Must be present to win).
Goody bags for the kids (while quantities last).
Great time socializing with others while supporting and promoting CHD Awareness!
The proceeds from this walk benefit the programs that Intermountain Healing Hearts, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization administers. Those programs include: Hospital Care Bags, CHD Awareness Display Table at Primary Children's Medical Center, and CHD Awareness Activities during CHD Week (February 7-14), Intermountain Healing Hearts Social Activities to help bring families affected by CHD's together (both Heart Heroes living and Angels), Funeral Flowers/Plant, Youth Heart Camp at Camp Wapiti, and the IHH Tree for the Festival of Tree's.
You can register early by going to www.intermountainhealinghearts.org. If you cannot attend, but would like to donate to this wonderful cause, donations can be made either electronically through PayPal or checks can be mailed to: IHH, PO Box 381306 Salt Lake City, UT 84158. Donations are tax deductible applicable by the rules the IRS has established concerning 501(3)(c) organizations.
Without your support, none of these programs would be made available to help those affected by CHD's.
We hope that all who can join us, will! Please let me know if you would like to attend with us. Last year we made buttons for all in our group to wear to show their support for Alex, and this year we would like to do something like that again. After all, each of you are members of our support group! We would not be where we are today without the faith and prayers offered by each of you in behalf of our family!

Did Gary tell you we saw him and Sam at Lagoon last week! The kids even rode the helicopters together! He is so brave!! I saw them in line for Wicked!! Looks like Sam is a real thrill seeker!
I am so excited that you guys are planning on attending. It was great fun last year and I expect that it will be even better this year. Thanks for spreading the word :0)
I hope that Alex is feeling much better. We sure missed you guys at camp. Hopefully we will be able to do it again next year.

We will be there. This was an awesome experience last year. We are really excited to do it again.
I think we will be out of town until that afternoon...but if we are around we will try to make it! Let me know if you need any help making buttons again, I am happy to help :)
