Wrapping up our tour in Lafayette

The last and final stop on my Walmart tour was Lafayette. I was very excited about this store appearance because all of my family came to see what I've been up to while on the road promoting fund-raising for Riley Hospital and Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals. My aunts were there, my grand-parents, my nana, everyone!!! They all caravaned down to Lafayette to see me. Can you believe it?!?! As I entered the store, I was amazed!! There were so many employees and tons of balloons & decorations. Several associates even came from other area stores to take part in the event. I was escorted to the stage to sit on a very tall stool. Greg Williamson shared information about the Lafayette Walmarts efforts over the past year in raising more than $16,000 for Riley Hospital!!! WOW!!! Way to BOILER UP Purdue nation!!! Next my mom shared my story about how Riley Hospital has made it possible for me to be here today. It is because of all my extraordinary doctors & nurses that I am such great shape today. And the fund-raising efforts by Walmart & Sams Club have had a hand in it too!!!! All the money raised goes directly to Riley Hospital to help kids from all over the state of Indiana. Your dedication & drive to continue to support Riley Hospital & Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals year after year speaks volumes. Thank you for always going above & beyond the call of duty when it comes to raising money for Riley kids. On behalf of every child ever treated at Riley Hospital for Children, I appreciate every penny you raise!!!

Thanks to the Walmart team for my new boombox & CDs. I love all my gifts and my cake was awesome!!! You guys are fabulous!! I promise to stop by next time we are passing through town on our way to Indianapolis!!! See you real soon!!!!
