The time has come once again…all of our hard work and fun preparations are nearly complete and it’s time to walk and celebrate! The SB Heart Walk is Saturday and for those of you who are able to join us, please scroll down for some important details! We are just $30 away from our personal fundraising goal so if you thought maybe you’d like to donate after reading our appeal a while back and haven’t done so, please follow this link to our personal page and help us reach our goal of $6000…Team Rudy has surpassed it’s goal of $7000.00 total! Well done everyone…another successful year. In the three years our family has participated in the Heart Walk, we (that’s the “we” that means “Rudy’s community”) have raised very close to $28,000.00 TOTAL!!!! Remarkable!
And so, as in years past, we will walk on Saturday in celebration of Rudy, in honor of loved ones affected by heart disease and stroke and in sweet memory of our heart buddies that have passed away since our journey with Rudy began…Katie, Angel, Logan, Josiah and Ethan. Their lives and the courage of their families are a daily reminder to me of the precious gift each day is!
On behalf of our family and the American Heart Association…Thank You!

We’ll meet back at the “Team Rudy” tent after the walk (anytime after 11:15am) to relax, enjoy each other’s company and EAT CAKE! Ha 🙂

Hi Rudy and your unbelieveable family … I think you and “the bear” will be a wonderful surprise at the Heart Walk. Spread your beautiful smile aura on all!! Wish I could be there but will be busy here hosting Emma’s Kappa’s from K State and Uncle Steve’s as they embrace your Grandpa Dick’s memory in the Run For The Cure 5K race (cancer cure) here in Lawrence Sunday morning after sleeping on the Trophy Room floor Saturday night! God Bless all !!
