[tri-wings] Update: Trisomy Awareness in the UP

UPDATE:  The Upper Peninsula Wal-Mart fundraiser did not raise lots of money
due to various factors (one being that a local business next to Wal-Mart had
a competing car wash and this type of fundraiser is not designed to raise
thousands of dollars) but the awareness that was raised outweighs any
monetary figure!!!  WLUC-TV6 ran a two minute interview about Noah's Never
Ending Rainbow, Trisomy and of Gina and Taylor Anderson (Taylor has Trisomy
8 mosaic).  Two minutes devoted to the awareness of Trisomy is absolutely
WONDERFUL and who can put a money value on a two minute interview!  Gina had
tried for several years to get WLUC-TV6 to conduct an interview and raise
public awareness in her community but they were never perceptive.  With the
help of Noah's Never Ending Rainbow, we got Gina and Taylor's story out in
their community!  For Noah's Never Ending Rainbow, public awareness is
essential because if the public doesn't know or understand what Trisomy is,
they won't be inclined to give or support our efforts or any other worthy
Trisomy organization/foundation for that matter hence our strong efforts and
commitment in raising public awareness.  I have not seen the interview as of
yet but Gina said it was really good...Taylor loved the cameraman's tripod
and the reporter's microphone :)  Gina said she got emotional when talking
which to me makes the interview more real.  Can't wait to see it!  Once I
get a copy, I could always dub it for others.

Again, a special THANKS to Gina, her family and friends for volunteering
their Saturday to raise awareness of Trisomy in their community!  Taylor is
now the superstar of the UP...Gina said he was laughing and pointing at the
TV when he saw the interview last night!  Way to go Taylor and Gina!!!

Stay tuned on the potential, up to a $1000.00, matching fund from Wal-Mart!
Keeping our fingers crossed on that!!!

Angel blessings to all.
