I never posted about it (shame on me!) but last fall David completed a "Rim2Rim" Grand Canyon hike. It was one of the hardest things he's ever done, but he'll never forget it. He did it with several ward members and others who were raising money for the A-T Children's Project. This hit close to home since a child in our ward is afflicted by ataxia-telangiectasia, a life-threatening genetic disease. His name is Liam.
Liam's family just moved to St. Louis in December. It was so sad to see his family leave. His mom has always been a favorite of mine!! Part of the sadness was that I lost one of my preschoolers, his little brother, Nolan. Preschool has never been the same! :)
However, they have had amazing experiences in St. Louis in the past few months. One of these experiences is coming up Tuesday, May 4. Their elementary school is having a fundraiser to raise money for the A-T Children's Project.
Liam's 3rd grade teacher has put together a fundraiser that requires any student and teacher to donate a minimum of $1. By doing so, they will be 'allowed' to wear their tackiest clothes on "Tacky Tuesday" So fun, right??
We can join with Liam's classmates, school and community by donating on the A-T Children's Project site in Liam's name. And hey you can even wear your tackiest clothes on Tuesday, May 4! If anyone asks, tell them about Liam.
Liam, and all the other A-T children deserve to be talked about and deserve a chance to LIVE.
Liam is turning 9 years old soon.

Can I just say how much I love you? I do! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You will never know how much this means.
Thank you Jenna. Thank you.
I love your idea to not only donate, but also dress tacky on May 4th. I didn't even think about that. Genius! I think we will do that -- I'll even send the kids to school dressed all tacky (not that anyone will notice the difference LOL). Super idea Jenna!
