Al's Run: Let's get the ball roling
« on: August 22, 2017, 11:28:23 PM »
Al's Run is just a few short weeks away.  This is the 5th year my family and I have formed a team.  Through 4 years, we have raised over $9,000 and Scoop has provided us with some very generous donations.  This year is not only the 40th anniversary of Marquette winning the national title, it's the 40th Al's Run!  So forget $19.77, make it $40 this year.

I kindly ask you to take time to visit my Al's Run page and donate:

http://www.chwevents.org/goto/peterrocks2017

And here is the story of why Al's Run means so much to my family:

My son, Peter, would have been 5 this year on September 10.  He lived his entire life - 18 days that changed the world - at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.  Even though my wife and I miss him dearly ever day, we are grateful that Peter received the best medical care possible. Medical care that gave us 18 days together.

Those 18 days provide us with memories that last a lifetime.  And even though they were the most difficult 18 days of our life, we are so glad we had them.  We couldn't have made it through those tough times without the doctors, nurses, and staff at Children's.  Not only did Peter get the best medical care possible, but my wife and I got the best emotional support from everyone we encountered throughout Peter's care.
 
We treasure all of the keepsakes from Peter's life.  The plaster hand and foot molds his nurse helped us make.  The professional quality family pictures taken by the staff photographer.  All free of charge thanks the generosity of others, like the many who have donated to Al's Run.
 
So that is why we do this.  Our team has raised over $9,000 in the four years that we have been doing the run and walk.  A portion of that is loose change my wife and I save throughout the year in Peter's piggybank, which we take to the bank every year on his birthday.  The change we save over the year adds up to more than $20 per year to donate.

My wife and I have since been blessed with two more children, a boy and a girl.  They are wonderful children and we are blessed that they were born completely healthy.  As they get older, we look forward to telling them Peter's story and sharing Al's Run with them.  It is a family tradition that holds a great deal of meaning for us.

Bump.  Only 11 days left!  It's been slow going this year, so here's what I'm going to do.  My son, Peter, would have been 5 this coming Sunday and in honor of his 5th Birthday, I will match 5% of all donations my team receives by September 10.

Let's do it!

Children's Hospital has done great work for my friends' children who were born with significant complications. Donated for Peter, Charlie, Joey, and all the others they've helped.

Thanks for the donations!  Team is up to $340 so far.  My 5% match would equal $17.  Let's keep it going.  Remember, all donations received by Sunday (Peter's birthday) will be matched at 5%.

In the coming days, I'll be taking Peter's piggy bank to the bank to count up our spare change for the year.  We donate Peter's piggy bank every year and have had at least $20 each year.  I'll post when I have the total.

Remember to keep those donations coming!

We collected $23.54 in Peter's piggy bank this year!  My wife and I will be donating this amount, plus the 5% match.  That brings my matching gift to $18.17.  Our total donation will be $41.71.  Only 2 more days to donate!  Please get those donations in by Saturday.

Thanks to all of my donors!  My team raised about $650 this year, bringing our 5 year total to more than $9,600.  Should surpass $10,000 next year.  As of now, I'm planning to run next year which would be my first time running instead of walking.  I am already looking forward to next year!

With much gratitude,
Lazar's Headband
