Strides For Sylvie thanks

On behalf of Michael and Audra Hughes, Sylvie and all the participants of the Strides for Sylvie team, I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for all your help, support and assistance. The events of yesterday far exceeded our expectations. It was truly a memorable day. Many thanks to all the members of the North Jersey Masters. It was particularly meaningful that so many of the members from the North Jersey Masters dropped by our tent during the course of the day. By all your efforts, the very sense of "community" was on full display at yesterday's race.
Thanks again,
Andy

A DAY TO REMEMBER
All of us know that on MEMORIAL DAY , we honor those military men and women who gave their lives in the service to our country. In addition this year, 2009, on the 26th of May, we acknowledged the road to recovery for the littlest princess in Ridgewood. We also showed our belief and appreciation to an organization that made life for those who love and support Sylvie, a lot easier. The TOMORROWS CHILDREN FUND deserves every dollar that all of you reading this help raise. Starting with Michael, Audra and followed by ALL of YOU, I and my wife give our thanks for all the hard work that went into making it such a memorable day. I for one, shall have a day to truly remember. The attendance of Princess Sylvie herself as the highlight followed by finishing my first 10K Run in about 45 years, before sunset. Next year, Sylvie does the 1 Mile Fun Run.

With love, gratitude and admiration,
Grandpa Lenny

No display of words could possibly describe what we’re feeling right now. The Ridgewood Run and the inaugural launch of team Strides For Sylvie was, in effect, a homecoming for our family. In fact, we are one big team and family united by the fortitude of a Sylvie and all of our support for the Tomorrows Children's Fund in the continued fight to cure pediatric cancers and help those families living with it. We wouldn’t be here today without each and every one of you. A gigantic thanks to our friends who cut their Memorial Day holiday short and schlepped from Montauk, LBI, Spring Lake to celebrate with us. We couldn't possibly have envisioned the incredible turnout, the sheer number of Team Sylvie runners, the activity at the Strides For Sylvie tent, the different teams organized by Sylvie’s teachers and also The Whole Child Center, meeting so many new faces and making new friends. And yes, I ran my first 10K with Michael pacing me at my side and my dad only a few feet behind us. Thank you to everyone for their support in the event.
Audra + Michael
