swimming for hemophilia


This Sunday, my son Will will join a team from the Polimeni London Montessori School (Rachel's preschool) to compete in the Finger Lakes Triathlon to support the Mary M. Gooley Hemophilia Center. Will will do the one-mile open water swim for the team. When we were asked if Will could do this, it was impossible to say no, remembering Steven Byrum, who lived across the street from us in Wappingers Falls, and all his sweet family endured. I promised Will I'd help him raise money for this in memory of Steven and in honor of Adam, the little boy his team is sponsoring. I invite you to consider making a contribution.

To donate, click HERE! Let's help the school get to the $1000 goal or above. Many thanks for your consideration.

And while I very much wish I had photos of Steven or Adam, I do not. So the photo of the day is Will, swimming in July at the Niagara Long-Course Classic at the University of Buffalo.
