Taylor Gurry

Taylor is our precious 8 month old baby girl. She is a sweetheart with huge smiles, sparkling eyes, and the cutest giggle. This is one part of her journey - but most of her days are filled with cuddles, laughter, and play.

Inspiration and Giving Back

Tonight I am inspired. It's Giving Campaign time at Microsoft, which is a huge drive for philanthropy. As a company, Microsoft gives a ton of money to great causes and the employees do a great job rallying folks to give back.

So here is my idea - I wondered for a moment if I should share this since I just thought of it, but perhaps you all can hold me accountable to bring it to life.

I want to hold a fundraiser "fun run" for the Haring Center - Taylor's school. It needs funds to keep it going and it is such a wonderful place. David and I are both runners, of course, and we have so many friends that would love to help out. A quick little 3 mile run for a small fee could raise big money for the school. I want to make this happen and call it a "Run for Taylor" - who is running everyday to be the best she can be. I'm thinking next spring, once the weather is a bit better, but before folks scatter for the holidays. Spring is also such a time of renewal and hope - I like that. So, stay tuned for more on this - I'm going to make it happen.
