I'm really excited to tell everyone about this amazing event...all put together to help one incredible boy.
My neighbor, friend, and visiting teacher's 14-year-old son, Davis Cox, was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia this past March. Since then, his health has rapidly declined, and he has spent countless hours in treatments, and in the hospital. I can't tell the story as well as Gayle or Davis can, so if you want to read their whole story, go here.
Well, in an effort to help, an increasingly large group of neighbors have gathered together to put together something to help out their family. The product of their tireless efforts is this event:
Distance for Davis.
I want to tell everyone about it, because I love the Cox family, and I want to see as many people participating as possible.
What: Distance for Davis fundraiser
When: Friday, Aug 6th - 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm
