May 3, 2008...National Childhood Stroke Awareness Day

Children's Hemipalegia and Stroke Association has declared the first Saturday of every May to be National Childhood Stroke Awareness Day! So naturally I jumped in on this bandwagon! The St. Louis Cardinal's so kindly recognized the day by inviting Brendon to through out the first pitch at a Cardinals/Cubs game. I was able to get a proclamation from the Govenor of Missouri, Matt Blunt to officially recognize the day in the State of Missouri!








Our efforts actually began on May 2, 2008 when we traveled down to a local television station to raise awareness for childhood stroke. The first picture is of Stephen and Brendon with the hosts of ShowMe St. Louis after they announced the day on live t.v. Brendon, Stephen, and I were accompanied by my cousin, Diane and my parents, Brendon's Mamaw and Papaw!




Here are a few pictures from the first pitch ceremony!
