Ethan is ready for the big day!! What about you? Ethan will have plenty of smiles to share, just like in this video on You Tube: http://youtu.be/sJiDBA9mDZY

Come out to the 2nd Annual Ethan's Heart Journey Walkathon Sunday, June 22nd from 10 am - 12pm -rain or shine! This year the walk is at West Vincent Township Park in Chester Springs.

Ethan was so happy after our open gym fundraiser at Silvia's Gymnastics. in Zieglersville. Thank you so much Silvia and Artie and all of the staff! If only the world was made of people like you!

It was a great success, but we still have a long ways to go to raise the funds necessary to make our home safe for Ethan! We are so lucky to have such a caring community of family and friends. Ethan is such an amazingly hard working and determined little boy. We look forward to a day when Ethan will be safe and secure in his home with his new bedroom and bathroom, lift system and ramp.

There is lots of fun to be had for kids of all ages with a popcorn machine, sno-cone machine, candy art table, face painting, balloons, foot charm necklaces, music and free cookie samples from our new sponsor,
Big Cookie!

A huge thank you to our repeat event sponsors: ACAC,Skanska, Renehan Building Group,The Ice Butler, Patriot Industries West. We are so pleased to introduce our other new sponsorsOdette NY, Silvia's Gymnastics, Knots and Weaves and The Loft at Knots and Weaves, Clover Communications Management, and Jockey Person to Person!
