Toni and DannyDanny will be running the Chicago Marathon on October 8 and Toni will be running the Toronto half marathon on October 15 in support of ASF Canada. ASF Canada helps families like ours. They connect, educate and help provide funding for extra expenses that come with raising a child with complex care needs.
Today - like every day - our community has kids fighting seizures, undergoing surgery and parents struggling and advocating for a better world for their kids. Here is an opportunity to help. | |
