May 2007 - What wonderful organizations the Make a Wish foundation and Give Kids the World are! Billy had
the most amazing time in Orlando, and the people were so incredibly nice to him and to us. He couldn't believe how lucky
he was to be there, and after all he's been through, it warmed my heart to hear that he thought he was lucky! These
are memories that will last a lifetime, especially since we have photo albums and lots of video taken while there.
To help give back, Sara and I participated in the Walk for Wishes, a 3.5 mile walk near us that helped raise money for
our NJ Make A Wish foundation. It was a wonderful experience and we plan to make it an annual event. This
is a worthwhile charity for anyone considering donating, as the money goes directly to the kids (85 percent of their fundraising
goes to kids, that's a very good percentage in the non profit world) and your contributions go a long way.
