A Message from Sharleen, Maddy's mom:
Hello Friends and Family-
As many of you know, Keira is one of her best friends. She has literally been friends with Keira since the age of 4 months. Keira and Maddy met at the home day care ran by Emy, then followed each other over to Little Stompers (attended over 3 years) and now they each attend their own schools. While they don't see each other every day, Maddy considers Keira to be her best friend. You should see the way these two interact with each other. They laugh, sing, dance, at times bicker like sisters, but always love to hug and pick each other up (well Maddy picks Keira up).
Now that Maddy is 5, I took the time to share with her about Keira's sickness. While she doesn't fully understand, she does know we can help find a cure by raising money. Maddy's school is having a Walkathon next Sat and instead of donating to her school (we will make a separate contribution), we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to walk for Keira. Therefore, we set up this donation page through The Pablove Foundation. Maddy and I will still walk the field and count her laps. I told her she has to earn this money she is raising for her friend.
We are excited to see if we can hit and exceed our goal of $1000!
A Message to you from Maddy:
"My best friend is Keira. She has been my friend since I was a baby and I am 5 1/2 years old. Keira is strong and funny and needs our help. She has a sickness that is in her body. I am raising money to give to all the doctors who can go and research to find a cure for her sickness called OMS.
I will be walking with my mom around my school field. I promise if you donate, I will make you proud with all the laps I walk next weekend.
Thank you for your support! I love Keira and will do anything to help her stay healthy.
