Here is a good way for everybody to help out our cause and let everybody during the Holiday Season know that we are trying to make difference in something we all believe in. Emily's was hurt in an amusement park ride when the train she was riding on with her sister's and grandparent's ran off the track and killed her grandmother and breaking Emily's neck leaving her a quadriplegic.
Since her injury her parents have had fundraiser's every year to raise money for research.They have a walk at the Indianapolis Moter Speedway which is the only charity event the Speedway allows for people to walk around the track.This year event raised over 100 thousand dollars and had over 3000 people walking.So check out Emily's Web site at WWW.Emilywalk.com (http://WWW.Emilywalk.com) and see her Christmas cards.

I didn't know about their foundation. I'm really glad you posted this, 219152. I bet each one of us could do something similar. Although I'm sure it helps that she's such an adorable little girl injured at a young age. Crystal Lewis is also helping out. She's a Christian music singer I had never heard of but I only listen to Oldie and news stations. I'm gonna buy some XMas cards - wish they had online ordering!
