Kate's Kart...Books from the Heart

Just an update on how The Laymans are doing: (Taken from http://www.layman4.blogspot.com/)


For any new readers....Kate's Kart is a new charity we just started in honor of our daugther, Kate who passed away on January 15 due to a congenital heart defect at the age of 18 months. She spent many many weeks in the hospital...and one of her favorite things to do was look at books have others read to her. Volunteers will take around Kate's Kart to the pediatric floors and allow hospitalized children and their families to pick out brand new books for their own personal use and enjoyment. Our goal is to pass out books a couple times a week and really encourage the children and their families on an ongoing continual basis. We accept donations of new books, gift cards or cash to help supplement the purchase of books.

Beginning Friday, April 25, 2008, Shannon McClure and Jenny Teders of Fort Wayne, will be contestants on "Dirk & Jnet's Little Give", a local version of Oprah's Big Give, sponsored by WAJI Majic 95.1 FM. Check it out at:
