Running for Sawyer

Jennifer Andress is at it again. She's chosen another hearing impaired child from The Bell Center to run for in the February 2011 race, the Mercedes Marathon. You can visit her page here for more information about Sawyer and to donate to this worthy cause. She is asking for each person to donate $13.10 for the miles she will run. Here's what Jennifer says.

"This year I will be running for Sawyer Collins. Sawyer is hearing-impaired, like both of my boys, and just received his cochlear implants this summer. He is 15 months old, and was diagnosed with Leukodystrophy. He has a big brother, Grayson, and loves peanut butter sandwiches, hanging upside-down, and playing with his mom and dad's cell phones!"

And here's a little of what you'll find at the Bell Center...

"Children receive early intervention services including physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies; special education services; and nutritional counseling two or four times a week in a preschool setting."
