Hope Floats on Sunday!!

http://www.duckrace.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.duckrace.com/charlotte 

Unfortunately (but fortunately for them), I have a lot of friends that have used the services of KinderMourn over the years. This Sunday is their annual Hope Floats Duck Race at the US National Whitewater Center. There are tons of activities for the whole family, 2-5pm, with the duck race "floating" off around 3:30pm. Help support this wonderful organization that helps to support many, many QC families during heartbreaking times. They are truly amazing!!

Blessings,
