If you are a runner in the Tulsa area, I'd like to request that you consider participating in the Sweetheart Run on February 11th. This run raises money for CHAMP Camp. This is a summer camp for children with Congenital Heart Disease where they can do what normal kids do at summer camp - but the camp is staffed by trained medical professionals so that if a child has problems or needs medical assistance, it is right there. When Rowan is old enough for camp, this is where he will be able to go.
This is a really neat event that even has a couples challenge in honor of Valentine's Day.

Our son, Rowan, was born with Congenital Heart Disease and later diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. He had 2 open heart surgeries, 5 heart caths, and 2 additional surgeries. Realizing that despite fighting for him, Rowan was never going to get better and that he was hurting, we made the decision to change our fight from a long life, to a beautiful end to it. Hospice was a true gift and a beautiful time for our family. We said goodbye to our son when he was 7 months old.
