Many, many thanks to Prayer for the Children for putting on a 3rd benefit fundraiser for Kennedy! To date, they have raised more than $2500 to help our family in covering Kennedy’s medical expenses. This weekend, they will be putting on a musical with an award winning cast. The Duval family will be attending opening night (Thursday) but the show runs through Sunday. It should just be incredible and even the youngest members of the audience are sure to have a wonderful time. Please see the attached flyer or go to their website at Prayer For The Children for more details and information about this wonderful non-profit. Feel free to pass this on to family and friends and we hope to see you there!

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us through this difficult year. It means everything to us and we could never take care of Kennedy without you. We continue to hold fundraisers to help cover the mounting costs of Kennedy treatment and thank those who have offered to hold events in her honor (we currently owe more than $380,000 in uncovered medical expenses and must provide separate insurance for Kennedy at the cost of $2500/year) . Over the last year, all of you helped us to raise approximately $35,000! Prayer for the Children is completely non-profit and holds events around the Northwest to benefit local children fighting cancer and other life threatening illnesses. We appreciate all the time, effort and love put in to this production.

Hope-Faith-Courage-Love,

The Duval Family
