My sister-in-law Jen works for the March of Dimes Denver chapter. I know they participate in the walk in Denver each year and they put out a butterfly for Liam. Since we are back in Iowa
this year, I thought it would be nice if we could walk in honor of Liam. I knew there
would be a lot of people who would walk with us and so I thought we could
enter the walk as the "Glynn Family" and walk for all the babies that we have lost.
So we walked this year in honor of:
Baby Gary and Maureen Smalley
Baby Gabe and Amanda Glynn
Thomas, Henry, and Lillia Rager
Liam Michael Felty
Baby Peter and Alex Glynn
It was a beautiful day and it just felt good to walk in honor of our babies. Taking a day to
remember them and sharing their stories in hopes of helping other babies.
We raised over 1,000 dollars to donate to the March of Dimes to aid in their efforts
to make sure every baby has a healthy start!
They had different colored lays for people to wear depending on what you were walking for. IE: Premature babies, babies with disabilities, healthy babies, babies that are no longer with us. So we all had white lays to represent walking for babies that are no longer with us.
They also had a balloon release to kick off the walk in honor of those babies who are gone.
We released white balloons.
Such an honor to walk as The Glynn Family. Something I hope we do each year and I pray
that we use the same shirts every year without having to add anymore names!
