Thank You!


I have been meaning to post this picture of Team Carly at the Brain Tumor Walk for awhile now. It was a great day, and so amazing to see everyone in person and to see that Carly’s team raised $13,981. We are moved by the generosity of all of you and cannot thank you enough. We can only hope that this money, and the other funds raised for this type of research, can help find better treatments and cures for brain tumors.

We are also moved that our good friends on the east coast have pulled together a team for the New York City Brain Tumor Walk. Team Carly East will be walking on June 18, and you can bet that we will be there in spirit. If you wanted to walk with Team Carly but live on the east coast, now is your chance. Thanks East Coast Crew!!!

Carly has been doing pretty well since her last shunt surgery. The best news was that she was doing well enough only four days after surgery to make the trip to North Carolina to attend the wedding of our very good friends. That was a great gift for all of us. She is scheduled to have her gamma knife radiation treatment next Wednesday, June 8th. It will be an all day procedure, and we are already focusing our energy toward envisioning a perfect outcome from it. We will keep you all posted, and appreciate your love and support

Love, Brad
