 America's Greatest Heart Run & Walk, is being held in Utica NY on 3/8/08. This event is the biggest fundraising event held in the US based on individual donations (Detroit beats this little city but is backed by the Car Industry) for the American Heart Association.

Anyways, please read my sister's webpage Team Rebecca. In short, she had her first surgery in 1974 @ age 6. Basically to let her live a little longer. In 1994, after 20 yrs of research they had developed something that could fix her.

2 morals to this story....1) THANK GOD there was research and research money to save her (in 1994 she had been told she had less than 10 yrs to live. i.e she would never see 36yrs old) 2) How amazing is an experimental procedure was able to last 20yrs until technology could catch up to HER!

Becky's heart had to wait 20 yrs....it is my goal to make sure SOMEONE ELSE DOESN'T HAVE TO WAIT 20 YEARS!

Thanks for your TIME

I stress I am only asking for spare change not big monetary donations!!! Our motto is "saving lives $1 at a time"

This link will take you to the 2009 Team Rebecca-AHA Kintera donation page a secure site that sends the donation directly to AHA in the name of Team Rebecca.
Again, stress I am only asking for spare change not big monetary donations!!! Our motto is "saving lives $1 at a time"

What an uplifting story.. Go Team Rebbecca! I can donate at least a dollar to your fundraiser. $1.00 is not much to ask.

Blessings to all.

That is a cool name that she picked. Good luck with the run and walk
