It's coming: Buddy Walk

Mark your calendar!  Dust off your walking shoes.  Get your Team Brinkley shirt out (or order one).  It's almost time for Buddy Walk!!!!  

Sunday, October 5th  Greenville Buddy Walk  @ Greenville Tech

Sunday, October 19th  Anderson Buddy Walk  @Anderson University

Be prepared, we'll be raising money for our local Down Syndrome Support Groups and we'll be selling Team Brinkley shirts for those who may not have one yet.  Details will come in August.  








Television Debut

Brinkley's surgery to close his G-tube site went well.  Something got the doctors off schedule for the day and it was nearly 3:00 when they took him back for surgery (he was scheduled for 1 pm).  He had not eaten since 9 pm the night before.  I'm sure you can imagine how fun that was!  The surgery went well and to our surprise we were not kept overnight.  

Saturday, June 28th Brinkley was featured in a Children's Miracle Network promotional video that was shown all over SC during the Miss SC pageant.  We are hoping to get a copy of the two videos that were shown, but for now my phone video from the TV will have to do.  






What a privilege it has been to represent our hospital and the CMN locally.  We have several more CMN events scheduled where we will share B's story and look forward to sharing those with you.  Right now you have the opportunity to support the Children's Hospital of GHS by giving to the CMN drives being held at ACE, Love's, and Dairy Queen.  All money given to CMN stays in the local community so "put your money where the miracles are!"
