The Believe in Tomorrow Foundation provides hospital and respite housing to families with critically ill children. It was a great get-away for us as we prepared for Payton's next round of chemo.
Her current treatment is 59 days long. We're on day 9. It's been up and down. This morning she's in a great mood. She spent most of yesterday lying on the couch feeling terrible. So this morning we're appreciating her good mood and positive health.
On April 10th, Believe in Tomorrow is sponsoring the Port to Fort 6K in Baltimore. It runs from Key Highway to Fort McHenry and back (I think). One of our dear friends created Team Payton to help raise money for them. As of this morning we have 42 team members and have raised $4,911. Our goal was $5,000, but since we're so close to it, I'm officially making it $10,000. But if we raise $1 million, I won't be upset.
If you are planning to run the event or would like to run the event, you can join by clicking on Team Payton. You can also walk. If you just want to donate money to the cause, select any one of our team members and make a donation. We invite friends, family, neighbors, and strangers to join us. As I scroll through the list of donors and team members, there are many names that I do not know. There are many people in our lives that have hearts of gold.

Read some of the testimonials from some of the other families. Many are very sad. Some families have lost children and despite the loss, they are still giving back to this wonderful organization. Others are celebrating medical achievements.
People always ask what they can do for us. Well, here's your chance! Thank you.
