HUNTER'S HEROES!

This Sunday Greg, the kids and I are going to participate in the March of Dimes "March for Babies". We are part of the team called Hunter's Heroes. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about Hunter and why we're walking.

Hunter is a two year old little boy who is a member of our church. We totally love him and his family. Hunter was born 15 weeks early and only weighed a little over 1 pound at birth and was 12.5 inches long. Hunter was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for his first 9 months and 2 days of life and has already endured many surgeries - including 2 heart surgeries. The March of Dimes has provided assistance and materials for his family during this challenging time in their lives. They will continue to do so, as Hunter still faces many long term challenges - all related to his premature birth. He has long term challenges of muscle development, currently requires a ventilator to breathe and is still learning to swallow. Yet, through all of this he is an amazingly energetic and happy little boy.

I invite all of you to visit my personal website at https://www.marchforbabies.org/guatchi31 to sponsor me during my walk or to walk with me.

Greg also has a personal website at https://www.marchforbabies.org/gfhuff31 if you'd like to sponsor him during his walk.

If you are unable to sponsor or walk with us, your continued prayers for Hunter and his family would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! :)
