My Daughter, My Hero

I just had some good news about Caitlin. She has been asked to be Grand Marshall for the 7th Annual DeKalb County RAMP Wheel-A-Thon on September 29.

RAMP (Regional Access & Mobilization Project) is an organization that provides services for people with disabilities in order to help them achieve independent living. They do some amazing work as area advocates. Caitlin utilizes their Educational Advocacy services. The Wheel-A-Thon is an important way for the organization to raise funds.

Last year was our first Wheel-A-Thon, and Caitlin won a trophy for all of the money we raised. Much of it came from the very generous donations of the faculty and staff of NIU’s Founders Memorial Library (Lynne’s work).

Caitlin will be leading the march/roll this year. She will also be the focus of much of the publicity in the newspapers. We are so proud of her. Our daughter is so awesome!
