What an exciting evening it was at the Texas Roadhouse in Gilbert last night! It was the Gilbert Firefighters vs. Gilbert Police Department in the 3rd Annual rib eating contest. The money raised goes to help those who have been displaced due to losing their home in a fire. The firefighters have won this event for the last two years, but this year the trophy went to the Gilbert Police Department! Boy can these men eat!!! Thank you to all of the police officers, firefighters, their families and all of you that purchased raffle tickets and made donations.
The beautiful U.S.A. flag, the Arizona state flag and a beam from the World Trade Center that will be used to make the 9/11 memorial in Gilbert, AZ.

I had a wonderful meeting with Terri Spitz-State Director of Communications for the March of Dimes and Lauren Beglin-March of Dimes Community Director. We have a big event coming up in November that you won't want to miss! More information coming soon! After my meeting, I was off to St. Joseph's Hospital to meet with families who have babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Five years ago, my twins were in the NICU when they born, so I can truly relate to what these parents are going through. Having a baby go straight into ICU after birth is something that is hard to grasp unless you've been there. I remember what it was like, and those memories are so clear in my head. I'm so glad that I now have the opportunity to help those who are going through what I went through five years ago.
