Hi again everyone...well can you believe it, we're just a couple weeks from the BIG event, and I'm only slightly over the half way mark in meeting my goal for HMEA's 11th Annual Independence 5K Walk, Run, Roll & Stroll in the Park,THANK YOU to all my friends and family who have made a donation to my fundraising page...I greatly appreciate your support and generosity.

With just over two weeks to go I thought I might try one more time to resend my fundraising page and ask those who haven't yet made their donation to please donate and support my efforts to help "make a difference in someone's life,"; someone who is living with developmental disabilities and/or intellectual challenges such as autism, Down syndrome and cerebral palsy. ANY amount is greatly appreciated, and will ensure that people supported by HMEA will conitnue to receive superior services and supports they've come to expect.

The event is on Sunday, May 20, 2012, and is held at the EMC soccer field at the Franklin facility at 50 Constitution Boulevard (right off Route 495, Exit 16). Why not plan to stop by and see for yourself what an amazing, fun-filled family day this event is! And meet some of the people your donation is helping. HMEA, a leading provider of community-based supports for more than 50 years.supports nearly 3000 children and adults in more than 110 Massachusetts communities. Please take a few minutes and make the decision to “make a difference” in someone’s life, and support my efforts by...

• making an online tax-deductible donation
• asking your company to match your donation
• creating your own personal fundraising page for HMEA
• donating a raffle item
• volunteering!

If you know of anyone else who would be interested in helping “make a difference”, please pass along this page. Thank you!
