Well I cannot believe I've done it. I have written our family's story on Cooper's diagnosis with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
In collaboration with 39 other people around the world our stories have been published in a book titled "Saving Our Sons and Daughter's II". Pre-sale began 1 week ago and my friends an family have purchased 12 copies aleady!
I can't thank all our friends and family enough for your constant support. What began as therapy for me has turned into financial support for Cooper!!!
See the link to the left for book purchases!!!

As a family we started a group called 'Cooper's Crew' too participate in The Age Run Melbourne.
In the beginning I thought that we would have maybe 5 members participating. The guidelines for setting a target said to aim high. So I figured we may be able to raise $2000 for the Duchenne Foundation, so I set our target high...$5000.
As of January 24th, 20 days after registering we hit the $5000 mark! We currently have a tally of $6200 and we have a whopping 28 members of Cooper's Crew.
Matthew and I are just so excited that we have been able to make a positive impact for the Duchenne Foundation who contiue to help Australian Boys with so much support, research, advice and equipment.

Christmas 2011
Well Christmas began with farewells at Kinder! Our kids loved the year they spent with Shar and Jo...but I tend to think we Mums will miss them more!
And those of you that know Reese, our 17 month old daughter, will know that she thinks she's 11.
But Santa was so initimidated by her screams that he had to hide behind his own chair!
