Please help me keep the momentum going toward my goal!

It was a great day and our group of TAPS families (me included!) on our Team had a wonderful 10K and Marathon!

The best part of being on the course was seeing all our TAPS runners and getting to know other new families who were “running to remember” but didn’t know yet that there was a program like TAPS there to support them. We were making new friends while we ran along, and there were a lot of hugs and tears and friendships forged along the course!

Because of the outpouring of generous support from all of you, I'm well on my way to reaching my goal for TAPS and the families of our fallen heroes! I’m still short of my goal, and with the recent increased in casualties the need is even greater now, so if you would consider passing this request along to your friends or keeping this in mind for your future giving, we would be so grateful.

For those of you that don't know about T*A*P*S please let me give you some information. The funds I raise will flow directly into TAPS programming such as a 24 hour crisis and information hotline, peer support, Survivor Seminars and Good Grief Camps for both adults and children. No contribution is too big or too small. For example, your $250 donation could cover the cost of one child’s attendance to a TAPS Good Grief Camp, where he or she can work through their grief with other children and family members who share their journey. For a $50 donation, you could furnish a TAPS survivor care package to a newly grieving family.

In addition to the hotline, peer support, seminars and camps, TAPS also offers a quarterly magazine, newsletters and a weekly chat line. TAPS provides these services at no charge to every branch of the service, including the Reserves and the National Guard. TAPS’ programs and services are available not only for spouses and children, but also for parents, siblings, fiancées, and friends. take a look at our website at www.taps.org.

Bonnie
