The Dooleys are once again going to New York City to participate in the Walk for Awareness of Facial Differences. The walk takes place on Sunday, September 30th, 2007.

As many of you know, my daughter Emily (now three) was born with cleft lip and palate. Emily had initial treatment and surgery at NYU Medical Center, which is funded by Forward Face (the organization that is organizing the walk). I'm soliciting sponsorship for this walk in honor of Forward Face - without this organization and the wonderful cleft lip and palate team at NYU, Emily would not have been able to receive the top notch medical care which we so desperately needed during her first year of life.

Please donate and make a difference - Forward Face is raising awareness of craniofacial differences through an educational outreach program that includes schools across the country. It is so important to our kids to be accepted and loved for who they are.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support-- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

All the best,

Jackie Dooley
