Northern Michigan Apraxia Walk

     This past weekend, we had the honor of participating in the Northern Michigan Apraxia Walk in Gaylord. We put together a team, called "Kellen's Krew" and raised over $1,000 for CASANA (Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America). It was an amazing experience. Both Dave and I were brought to tears by speeches and by the families that came together to support their children, to support Kellen, to support kids all around the world who are working so hard every day to overcome apraxia. Because we were the top fundraising team, we got to carry the banner on the walk. :) Kellen's beloved daycare worker also came and walked with us. Unfortunately grandparents/uncles/cousins were all unable to attend this year, but they are already talking about attending the next one and of course supported us and supported Kellen from afar. So much of this journey with Kellen has been tough because we have not had an opportunity to really get to spend time with others who have been down the same path. It was a beautiful day and Kellen had a great time. We are so, so proud of our amazing little boy.
