March 31 - The Goal is Within Reach
Thank you to everyone who came out last Friday! We had a blast seeing you, and sharing that experience with both old friends and new.
Together we raised over $1,700 for multiple myeloma research!
Being able to share my mom's journey in a public way was incredibly emotional and I am so grateful to the MMRF for giving us a positive mission to strive for. It has kept me going and I know it has made an impact on my mom as well. At the very least it brings family and friends together for a Hooker Brewery Happy Hour!

Your support has brought me within reach of my $5,000 goal - I am currently just $413.93 (to be specific) away! Thats incredible! Achieving this allows me to re-focus my energy to training for the hike which begins...NOW!
I hope that you enjoyed the night out as much as we enjoyed seeing you. Photos of the event can be found via the link below - please feel free to download and share. And stay tuned because a happy hour of sorts might just become yearly tradition.
