THE FIRST ANNUAL ETHAN MAC INVITATIONAL= AMAZING

LET ME JUST START BY SAYING WHAT AN AMAZING DAY.... SERIOUSLY, I WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO CAME TO SUPPORT US AS A FAMILY. WE HAVE THE BEST FAMILY AND FRIENDS ANYONE COULD ASK FOR. WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TURN OUT AND RAISED ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY OFF   OUR MEDICAL BILLS. IT AMAZED ME HOW GENEROUS PEOPLE ARE, NOT ONLY FOR THEIR DONATIONS BUT FOR THEIR KIND WORDS AND FOR THEIR SUPPORT THROUGH ALL OF THIS.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL WHO DONATED, WHO SHOWED UP TO PLAY, WHO CAME TO PARTICPATE IN THE RAFFLES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN FOR US. I HAVE NEVER BEEN A PART OF SOMETHING THAT HAS MEANT SO MUCH TO ME. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE COME OUT TO SUPPORT A LITTLE BOY THAT GOT DEALT A ROUGH HAND. I WISH ETHAN WERE ACTUALLY OLDER SO HE COULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD ALL THOSE PEOPLE WERE THERE FOR HIM, AND HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW LUCKY WE ARE.

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE THE EXTRA WEIGHT OF MEDICAL CREDITORS OFF OUR SHOULDERS. THIS YEAR HAS BEEN... LETS SAY AN EXPENSIVE ONE, AND WHEN YOUR CHILD IS SICK, NEEDS SURGERIES, THERAPIES OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU DON'T CARE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST. YOU WILL GO INTO LIFE LONG DEBT TO MAKE YOUR CHILD THE BEST HE CAN BE. NOW THAT BEING SAID I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW ANNOYING, HOW SCARY, AND HOW SOMETIMES OVERWHELMING IT CAN BE TO GET MEDICAL BILL AFTER MEDICAL BILL. THE PHONE CALLS SEEMED LIKE THEY WOULD NEVER STOP AND IT SEEM LIKE WE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO DIG OUR WAY OUT.

LUCKY FOR US WE HAVE AN INCREDIABLE GROUP OF PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES THAT SAW OUR STRUGGLES AND PUT TOGETHER THIS TOURNAMENT. SO THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
