Walking the Walk

As many of you know, this spring we suddenly lost our wonderful cousin Emma. When we first considered moving out here to San Diego, one of the major bonuses was being so close to Emma and Scott. With Emma's passing we find ourselves wondering what we can do to keep her memory with us. For myself, I try to be as passionate about every single day as she naturally was. Emma was not one to allow herself boredom and inertia. She and Scott both showed us over the years (and continue to show us) that there is always opportunity for activity, fun, and discovery if you are willing to seek them out.

She would also seek out turtles.
And pretty much every other creature that would let her pick it up.

With that spirit in mind, Kate and I are participating in a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walk with the "Emma's Angels" team, captained by Scott. Please consider donating to our fundraising page here. Every single penny counts, and your efforts on our (and Emma's) behalf really do make a difference. Having worked in an organization dedicated to the eradication of a disease, I can honestly tell you that the research does not get funded without your few spare dollars. It just doesn't.

That's how powerful you are.

Thank you for your support and generosity.
