Saturday, November 13th was our Falling for Ryan Festival..
Something a friend of mine (Crissy) and I thought up last year when another friend of ours
gave birth to her son, Ryan, and he was diagnosed with CHARGE Syndrome. We wanted to do this festival last November, but we didn't have enough time to get things underway. As it turns out, God was with us on the timing, because us waiting until this year helped out tremendously. We were able to get tons of raffle prizes donated, the location donated, 80lbs of BBQ and fixins, hot dogs, drinks, dj services.. all donated! We came out of pocket very little and while we didn't have a huge crowd, we were still able to raise a nice chunk of money for our friends. On top of that.. we were able to raise awareness for this very rare genetic syndrome. Many of our friends and family members came out to support this family and this cause. We can't say thank you enough to everyone who volunteered their time, services, facebook status', etc and those who came out to spend an afternoon with us.. I hope everyone had a great day.
While I didn't get to walk around and take pictures of the event, I did have a booth set up for quick family snapshots. Thank you to the families below for supporting The Lane's!
Meet Mike, Kim & Ryan Lane!
