Next week

Friday, May 8th is the night of the first annual friendAble Social Club’s Spring Ball!  We have 175 reservations plus at least another 70 staff and volunteers.  We asked and you responded:  people have donated gowns, dresses, sport coats, dress shirts, slack, shoes, belts.  Cousin Christine sent us 30 brand new ties!  People are gonna look sharp.  I want to thank Tallwood High School, the Noblemen and Nobleteens in advance for what is going to be a great night.

Yes, I know Tuesday of last week was the five year anniversary of Mary’s injury.  It was uneventful and a calm day.  The pain is less, so is the hurt but those will be with me the rest of my life.  The great news is I have such great memories of my time with Mary and her legacy lives on in our boys.

On Monday the 20th, I was invited to speak to medical students at Eastern Virginia Medical School to give my perspective of the health care industry.  Good thing I was given only 15 mintues.  I enjoy talking to them and trust me, when we talking (I was part of a panel), there were tears and looks of shock.  Maybe they were starting to realize that the classroom is not real life.

The golf outing is almost upon us – May 15th.  So far, a good show of support and we are anticipating about 60 golfers.  Contact me if you are interested in playing or helping – matt@maryfoundation.org

Keep the Faith,
