So back to Gavin’s playground project. Gavin spent a lot of time at Neumours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children and there was a playground that Gavin never got a chance to fully enjoy. His mom did fight for a wheel chair swing, but wished she had advocated for more. The playground wasn’t set up for kids with special needs. So about 6 weeks ago Kate met with the hospital and pitched her idea to fund an all abilities playground and that is how Gavin’s Playground Project began. People came together last night at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks PA to support the playground. Over 400 people showed up and many more supported the Playground Project from around the world. It was truly incredible to see so many people come together to help. I don’t know what the final number was last night, but I know they raised more money than I think anyone expected. The power of people coming together for a good cause is amazing. I am so honored to have been a part of this event and to call Kate a friend.
