Thank you to everyone who raised money and braved the soggy weather to come out to the Detroit-area FAAN walk on October 3.  We were still able to raise awareness, show kids and their families that they are not alone, and create connections among our families.  That is the best payoff!

We look forward to seeing you next year!
