I am so glad I got to meet more friends of the Harringtons and be reunited with those I hadn't seen in a long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, however you gave, with time, with donations, with well wishes, I am grateful and very touched!

Love,

Angela

A message from the Harrington Family...

Facebook hosted a contest among different charities, with the winning organization getting a quarter of a million dollars. FAST, an organization that does research for Angelman Syndrome was one of the competing charities. Thank you to everyone who voted for FAST because THEY WON!!! $250,000!!! In addition, over $40,000 was raised in donations matched by Vivint. A tremendous success that will go a long way toward finding a cure for Angelman Syndrome.

A presentation of the winners will be posted on Sept 6th at 2pm MST at http://www.vivint.com/givesbackproject for those who are interested in watching.

Thanks again so much if you voted. This is huge.

WE HAVE RAISED....

I am happy to say that we have most of the details in place!

WHEN: 9.10.11 at 9AM

WHERE: Railroad Grade Trail to Blithedale Ridge to Upland-- ending at the redwood grove and creek area on West Blithedale

WHAT: a hike in honor of an angel named Emmett Harrington

WHY: Because AdventureHere wants to make AS more known and understood...and because the Harrington Family is such an INSPIRATION to others and we want to honor them!

HOW: by gathering donations, creating awareness AND encouraging people to come out and participate in HIKE4EMMETT!

I just reached out to some graphic designers and asked if one of them would be willing to design and donate a flyer. Once we have the flyer ready our plan is to circulate it and start contacting large organizations to ask for donations. If you have any ideas please share them!

Stay tuned for more!
