Sophia at Mini-Laps... SUPERSTAR!

By -
Are you prepared to behold Sophia singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Mini-Laps 2011? NO YOU ARE NOT. It's simply too awesome. This 9-year-old diva-in-the-making worked for weeks and weeks on her phrasing, her breathing, her notes and her diction, and even I was speechless at the utter magnificence of the final result. If you missed it (like I did - I was in Boston!), be sure to come to Laps for Little Ones on Oct. 15 at Cascia Hall, another great opportunity to donate to Elijah's favorite school, The Little Light House.
GO SOPHIA!!!!!

Elijah Will Be Represented at Boston Marathon 2014

By -
Our dear friends the Sperou family in Massachusetts recently asked if we'd be interested in seeing Elijah represented by a runner during the upcoming Boston Marathon in April 2014. Of course we said yes! What a fantastic opportunity, to know that someone has dedicated themselves to running 26.2 miles, thinking about Eli the entire time, working to raise money for children like Eli who are dealing with rare diseases. Kelsey Hoontis, our new superhero, is sponsoring Eli as part of an organization called "Running For Rare Diseases." They recently spoke with Christopher and Laurie Sperou about sponsoring their precious daughter, Shauna, who became a good friend of Eli's during our visit to the Rothmund-Thomsen Syndrome conference in Washington, D.C. Kelsey is one of three (for now) runners who will be representing RTS kids, and I'll tell you honestly, it feels so good to see Eli's syndrome garner more attention. We felt so alone in those early days when we had j
