Click here for an interesting article about crime, poverty, and people in Memphis. There's so much to learn about this place. It is interesting to see the perspectives of poor Memphians in this article, and also, the plight of our crime fighters. It is an uphill battle, apparently.
Secondly, this website is a friend of a friend's, who has started a fund to benefit kids, parents, and employees of the ICU (either PICU or NICU, not sure) at LeBonheur, in honor of their baby boy that they lost last year, Forrest. I think I may get off of my couch to run this 5K. (If Brian's off, that is, so that he can watch the baby while Eddie and I run/walk). I don't think I can run that far with Fletch yet. Anyway, it's a good cause, and I was so touched by their story- as his parents went through his hospitalization and death while I was still pregnant with Fletcher, I followed their story closely and was really pulling for little Forrest all along. It's funny how you can feel connected to other moms without really knowing them very well at all!
