To show my gratitude for my healthy kids, for the holidays this year in lieu of receiving presents I want to raise money to keep other babies healthy as well.  SIDS is so scary and counfounding as a new parent - I read every book and website and still found there was nothing I could do to 100% protect Mirabelle from it.  I chose this charity because part of the work they do is to research the causes of SIDS. 

Here's the information from the charity's website:

The Hayes Foundation was founded on June 15, 2002 by Kyra Oliver and her friends and family in honor of her 4½-month-old son, who died of SIDS on June 11, 2002. The Foundation works to create programs and award grants for SIDS research, support services and public awareness. For more information about the Hayes Foundation, call 804.708.0033.

Here's the Hayes Foundation's website if you want more information: http://www.hayeshitzemanfoundation.org

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
