St. Jude Give Thanks Walk 2013

Just wanted to say THANKS to everyone that supported our Helping Hands 4 Morgan Team and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital this weekend!!  With all your generous donations, we were awarded the Top Fundraising Team plaque for the 2nd year in a row!  We also won best t-shirt design!  :)  We don't have exact numbers (they are still tallying last minute donations handed in at the walk) but I believe all of Long Island raised around $100,000 and our Helping Hands 4 Morgan Team raised over $15,000 (if my calculations are correct)!!  We will keep you posted.  We are so thankful for all our family, friends, and community that supported our team, we couldn't have done this without you!!!  I have a little album on our Helping Hands 4 Morgan Facebook site or click to your right on our St. Jude Give Thanks Walk 2013 album. 

Thanks again and we hope you all have an incredible Thanksgiving!  What a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season by giving back to such a phenomenal Hospital, we have so much to be thankful for!!

Love,
Nikki, Adam, Hunter and Morgan

There is breakfast and activities before the walk starts at 10.  We have been asked to be apart of the opening ceremony and, don't forget, our Helping Hands 4 Morgan Team are the walk leaders!  We will be heading to the Hurricane Grill and Wings in Hauppauge (totally optional and very close to walk) afterwards to eat and they will be donating a percentage of your bill to St. Jude as well, for anyone that would like to join us (no pressure!).  As of this morning our team total is $7010 and as soon as the Fitness Advantage donations are added to the total, we will be OVER our $10,000 goal and we hope to keep going until the walk!!!!!  THANK YOU to everyone that has signed up to walk and all of our generous donors, you guys made this happen and we couldn't be happier!  We are so very grateful to have such supportive family, friends, and community in our lives!  Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.  Look forward to seeing you all at the walk!

Adam and Dave's ensemble were inspired by the movie Semi-Pro, this is what they were able to come up with! Special thanks to Walmart women's department for outfitting them!  :)

Adam and I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Sarah Sirico and everyone at Fitness Advantage for hosting this amazing and fun event for St. Jude!  Also, just wanted to acknowledge and THANK this awesome community that we live in, the support we have been receiving over the last 2 years is so very much appreciated and words can't describe how unbelievable happy we are to have such wonderful people in our lives.  You raised over $3000 on Saturday for an extraordinary hospital!!!  Once this money is put toward our St. Jude Give Thanks Walk Helping Hands 4 Morgan Team, we will have raised a total of over $9000!!!  We will be less than $1000 away from our $10,000 goal and (hopefully) secure our spot as the #1 fundraising team on Long Island!  Being able to give back to a Hospital that has given us so much love, support, and care means the world to us and we can't thank you ALL enough!  We are so very proud of our team, all the generous donors, and everyone that has helped us along the way!

 

The walk is less than 2 weeks away!

Happy Halloween!

Our Helping Hands 4 Morgan team has had some pretty generous donations over the last few weeks and we have, so far, raised $5995!!!  THANK YOU!!  We raised $6635 last year, we are confident that we can beat our own record and we are really hoping to be the #1 fundraising team on Long Island again!  The team in 1st place now has raised over $7900, there is still time, we can do this!  My dream of being #1 in all of NY was cut short by Eric Trump and Elvis Duran when they formed the Elvis Trumps Cancer team.  There is no competing with a Trump but that is ok because they have raised over $32,000 and our ultimate goal is to raise as much money as we can for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital!!  :)

The walk is Saturday, November 23rd, there is still time to donate and/or register to walk with us.  If you can't attend the walk, Sarah Sirico, at Fitness Advantage is hosting a Tag Team Fitness Challenge this Saturday, November 9th at 10am with an auction (some pretty incredible items donated!!) to follow!  Adam and I are participating too so, if you would just like a good laugh, please stop by! 

Adam and I were asked to speak at a fundraising event for St. Jude last Friday night in NJ, hosted by a committee called St. Jude Angels for Hope.  What an incredible evening, filled with such unbelievably kind and generous people, it was truly inspiring!!  When we left, they were $10,000 short of raising 1 MILLION  Dollars!!!  THANK YOU Angels for Hope and all the guests that attended, it was truly an honor to be a part of such a beautiful night!
