2009 Cure PH Golf Tournament

Yesterday was the 2009 Cure Pulmonary Hypertension Golf Tournament in Mocksville , NC. This year our own little Parker was asked to be the special honoree. All the donations made to this charity event were made in his name. Parker's name was embroidered on the golf shirts that were given to all the participants and a special T-shirt was made just for him. It was a unique opportunity for us to be part of this great effort to raise awareness and needed research funds for PH. We were overwhelmed with the generosity and support this event was given. 72 golfers showed up even though it was raining and played golf (in the rain) for 4 1/2 hours! When the golfers were finished (they were all soaked), we had dinner in the clubhouse where they had everything decorated in periwinkle (PH's color) and white. They also had a board with Parker's name as the honoree and a little slideshow of him. Parker thought it was pretty cool when everyone in the room clapped for him, even though he had no idea why! We haven't heard the final word on the amount that was donated, but I think it will be pretty close to the goal of $20,000. Thanks again to all of you who donated money to this event. We believe that someday there will be a cure for Pulmonary Hypertension and it is through your donations and events like this that we become closer to that cure.
