Please help TEAM ELIJAH! (Some of you may have received this same note in an email, sorry for the duplication but we want to spread the word!)
In honor of our precious baby boy, the three of us will be walking in this year’s Twin Cities Heart Walk as the captains of TEAM ELIJAH. The Heart Walk is a great event that helps raise money for the American Heart Association, for important heart disease research and awareness. We would like to ask you to join us on our walk or make a donation, or both. The walk will take place on Harriet Island in St. Paul at 10am on 4/26/08. For more information about it, click here or keep an eye on Eli's blog as the date gets closer.
We are looking for a handful of our family and friends to become team leaders along with us, to help us raise money for this organization. If you go to Elijah's Donation Page, you can click on My Team Page, then Join Our Team and then you can register online. Being a team leader just means that you will recruit walkers/donators from your own network of friends and family.
If you're not interested in being a team leader, but would like to contribute funds, you can easily do that as well. Go to Elijah's Donation Page and you can make a secure online credit card donation. The American Heart Association's online fundraising website has a minimum donation amount of $25. If you prefer to donate less, you can do so by sending a check directly to us, made out to the American Heart Association.
If you're not interested in being a team leader OR donating, you can just come walk with us! You can do all three things, just one or none at all (we promise we won't take it personally).
Your donation, participation and/or support is very valued. We sincerely appreciate ANY amount of support we can get, even if it's just an email saying, "GO TEAM ELIJAH!" Thank you, our dear friends and family, we hope to see you on April 26th.
Love,
Megan, Dan & Elijah
p.s. If you walk with us on the 26th, you'll get a TEAM ELIJAH t-shirt to keep!
p.p.s. Some of you recently and kindly donated to another organization, The Children's Heart Foundation, in honor of Elijah. We apologize for making donation requests so close together and will absolutely NOT be offended if you choose not to donate again. This event is just really important and we're very excited about it and want to do what we can to help out.

So cool! Our heart walk "Team Brave Hearts" has gone from 3 families to (I believe) 11 last year. The president of AHA here in Lou. said the impact we made was so important! We'll be praying for your walk and keep us posted!!
Hey Portas...just a couple quick things:
1. Thought of you today when we went to see the Veggietale movie...is Elijah still obsessed?
2. Thanks so much for the beautiful flowers for Kate's funeral...can you email me your address..aklayman4@verizon.net
3. Love what you are doing with the heartwalk. Maybe after things settle down...I can figure out a way to help from Indiana...as I don't think we have one...at least not in our town!
Sending lots of love...thanks for all the prayers and support!
I am so glad your getting involved with the Heart Walk. We are getting a team together as well. Its so important to get involved and this is a great way.
That's great...
good for you...
we did a heart walk and raised $2000 from my family alone...
I have done the heart walk in Seattle for the last few years. I love it...my Employer always had a big team there.
Here's a promise:
And I WILL do this. :) The second I get my rapid refund, I'm giving Team Elijah $100 of it. We're getting our taxes done tomorrow.
xoxo.
You're good people, love. It's an honor to have met you.
