Laura's Lions

As many of you know my daughter, who has Down Syndrome, Laura Allison Schaefer had open heart surgery before she was three months old. The surgery was a complete success, and she is doing great.

The Lion in the picture below is her favorite stuffed animal. It was the first toy she really responded too. It was a great source of comfort to us while she was in surgery. We felt like it is a great representation of the way Christ watches over all of his people. Plus, it is an amazing reminder of just how many people were preying for Laura through that part of her young life. It helped to keep us all sane while she was in the operating room, and out of our care.


Now the Down Syndrome Association of Houston (dash for short) could use your help. They are having a Buddy walk on November 14th. Please check the link to the dash web site the right for more details. If you would like to participate on our team, Laura's Lions, I need to know no later than Thursday the 15th of October. This is so we can get you registered as a member of our team.



If you would like to donate your financial support please let me know. Funds that are raised will go to support Down Syndrome research

Our Team Captain is Laura's Grammy (Judy Johnson). However, all of Laura's grandparents and parents will be trying to get people to join our team. So the more the merrier. If you are available on November 14th come take a stroll with Laura, because each of you are already one of her Lions, we would love to have along.
