What A Team


The Brain Tumor Walk was a big success this weekend, and Team Carly was a major contributor. The weather was perfect, with clear skies and a slight ocean breeze that must have been a little wind power from those of you who were not there in person. Thanks to all of you, Team Carly raised $14,595 which easily beat our goal of $12,000 and placed Team Carly in the top five of all teams. It is hard to put into words just how moved we are by the support that we have received for this event and throughout this journey that we find ourselves on. Looking at the list of over 200 people who contributed to Team Carly we see friends both new and old, family from around the county, coworkers, and even some generous anonymous supporters and we cannot help but feel blessed to have so many people lifting up our daughter in love and prayers. Thank you all.

Love, Brad and Christa

Brad and Krista, it was a pleasure meeting you and Carly, along with the rest of Rich's family. (I even met coworkers from the San Francisco office!) Rich is a great boss and a such good person. I'm honored to be able to participate. The entire event was fun! Sorry I couldn't stay for the BBQ afterward. Perhaps next year! God's undying love and provision is amazing! Love and prayers to you...Rena :-)
