Team Carly

Team Carly was out in force yesterday for the Brain Tumor Walk in Golden Gate Park. It was a bit soggy with on and off rain, but it didn't dampen the spirits of the team. In just over two weeks Team Carly raised over $11,000 finishing 5th in fundraising out of over 200 teams. Forty people walked for the team and over 140 people donated to the cause! Thank you all!

Since Carly's diagnosis on September 12, 2008, we have been blessed with support from all of you who are a part of Carly's team. Team Carly is a group of people who believe in the healing power of love. We are a group who choose hope over fear and believe that tomorrow will be a better day for a little warrior named Carly. The team stretches from Switzerland, France and other points in Europe, spans the entire United States from the east coast groupies through the midwest heartland to the west coast family and reaches points in Japan and throughout Asia. The power of this team has brought calm to Christa and I in trying times and continues to help Carly each day on her road to recovery.

Love, Brad

Hello you three !
I am coming back from 2 weeks with no-internet at all, and also I knew via Mom the good progresses of Carly, I could not participate to the "team Carly" fund raising... Is it to late to participate ? Wishing you all the best, so happy to read the good news... Love, Cécile

Brad and Christa,

This is Jackie (of the "Turk is Toast" team and Kezar's run-in on Saturday.)

So great to meet you and your sweet baby girl. She is such a doll. I wish neither of us had a reason to be there Saturday. But, as with everyone else there, we'll keep fighting and hoping and doing things like the walk to make sure that one day there is a cure...and, in the meantime, we all have each other.

Thinking of you and sending healthy vibes your way,

Jackie

That was fantastic! Way to go Team Carly! This little child is so powerful, isn't she?!?! With that smiling group behind her and thousands more around the world. We continue to send our love and thoughts and are so proud to be a part of the "East Coast Groupies"!!

You are truly an inspiration, Carly is a blessing and she is so blessed to have the two of you as her parents. You are so supportive and positive, she will capture so much strength and true love from you both. I hope and pray Carly is now, finally on the mend. She seems to be doing much better. Go Team Carly! :-)
