While living in california we lived only blocks away from my brother Scott and his wife Ruth. I grew closer to Ruth in so many ways during our 2 years there. She feels more like a sister then a sister in law. We were so excited when she first announced she was having a baby girl. Her first after 3 boys! After a positive AFP test that their would be complications with their little girl, life became very emotional.
It was a long journey to get Davy to where she is today. Ruth and Scott have fought very hard for her health. I am constantly impressed by their love and strength for their daughter. Davy is now a year old and amazes us all. But she still requires so much care.
Many friends and family that have helped her since the beginning have decided to put their efforts together and throw a benefit for Davy and her sweet parents. I know many of you wont be able to attend but we are asking for any donations people can give. Even if it is just $1 dollar and you passed on the news to all your friends that love Yo Gabba! That would be awesome! I know they would be so grateful and it would personally mean so much to me also.
To Donate or for those of you that can attend the benefit, go to www.teamdavy.org and also check out her blog at ruthschultz.blogspot.com! It is pretty amazing and motivating! Davy has been a fighter and she has blessed my life in so many ways. I couldn't imagine our family without her.
I am flying out for the benefit so if any of you decide to buy a ticket and come, I will see you there!

I wish I could go to the benefit, but I'll be happy to donate some money
I have read Ruth's blog once in a while since you posted about Davy's birth. They are an amazing family. We wish them the best and will be glad to dontate.
What a wonderful thing you are doing for their family. I admit I've blog spy-ed on them a bit... I can't imagine the tough challenges they face every day.
Hope all goes well. We'll check out the webpages...
