This year I am once again committed to raising no less than $1,500.00 in furtherance of Live4Evan's charitable efforts, and I truly hope that all of you will consider helping to carry on the legacy of our amazing friend Evan Girardi by making a donation. No matter how big or small, every single dollar has the power to change or even save the life of a child living with a congenital heart defect. 

Over the past decade, Live4Evan has already given life, comfort and hope to the families of dozens of Heart Warriors who wake up every day to fight their own battles with congenital heart defects, and I hope that some of you will join me in keeping that legacy alive through the incredible impact that this foundation makes. All of these fundraising efforts will go toward's Live4Evan's mission to provide housing for families who travel to Boston to receive cardiac-care at Boston Children's Hospital. The Live4Evan apartments are located in the building next to the hospital and are completely furnished, so that families staying with Live4Evan do not need worry about finding a hotel to stay in for 6-9 weeks, and instead they can focus on the only thing that matters, being there for their child. If you would like to learn more about Evan's story, the Live4Evan foundation, and the ways in which it has already changed the lives of so many little Heart Warriors, please feel free to visit www.live4evan.org. 

As always, thank you so much to all of you who contribute - it is because of you that Evan's legacy continues to grow and impact so many families in the most profound way. I hope to see a bunch of you out there on March 16th so I can thank you in person!!
