Be a Real Winner and Join Cailinn’s Crusaders at the
Briggs and Al’s Run/Walk
To all our friends and family, I would like to
officially invite you to join and support our team,
Cailinn's Crusaders, for our 5th year walking for
Children's Hospital of WI on Saturday, September
14th at 10AM.
You all know how important CHW has been to our
family, and now is a
great opportunity to
help us say thank
you! Brian and I look
forward to doing the
walk every year for
many reasons. First
of all, it's a
wonderful cause.
Every year, the
money that Team
Cailinn's Crusaders
raises, goes directly
to the Special Needs
Program at the
hospital. I like to let
people know where
their donations are
going to help you
understand that it's
not just going to a
random pot at the
hospital. The
Special Needs
Program has been a
life line for our
family. They are
available 24/7 to help us when we need it. They are
experts at medically complicated children (ie.
Cailinn) and are the reason that we have had the
coordination of care that we do. They bring all of
her 22 specialist together to think as one team,
rather than individual specialties. The other reason
we do the walk every year is that it's FUN! We have
a blast every year. It's not like we just walk down
the street and then go home... that would be
boring. Instead, we get to see live music, different
characters (last year we saw Chewbacca and other
Star Wars characters that I do not know... sorry
Brian), and the year before that we saw the
characters from Pirates of the Caribbean.). 
So, I am asking for your support again this
year. Join our team and walk  with us  if you can
(or  run). If you can not, please consider making a
donation on behalf of our team. Every little bit
helps, even if it's  $5. Honestly!! We have set our
goal high again this year at $3000. Seems like a lot,
but we manage to hit the mark every  year thanks
to  all of the very generous  family, friends, and
even strangers.  The last few years we have been
averaging 20-25 team members. I would love to see
us  hit 30 members this year! Don't forget that  if

you register for our team, you get a one of a kind
T-Shirt that shows you supported Team Cailinn's
Crusaders. Your friends will be so jealous!

Pass this on to people you know, and check
with your employer to see if they will match
donations. Again, every bit helps.
Something new
that we are
trying this  year
i s  a d v e r t i s i n g
sponsorship. We
currently have  3
ads that we will
be including on
the back of
our T-shirts, and
have plenty of
space available
yet. If you or
someone you
know would like
to have their
group
or
company name
added, it only
cost $50.

I would
like to thank the
M i l w a u k e e
Hurling Club for
being our very
first ad sponsor
this year. When
asked, they did not even hesitate and told me to
make sure that we ask again next year. Thank you
MHC!
