Neil's first round of golf in 20 years was awesome. Even the 25-30 mile winds did not ruin our round.
I am one of the happiest Dad's today, as I never thought I would be playing golf with Neil again, and over the past 6 months, his improvement is beyond belief. Even a golfer we didn't know asked Neil if he wanted to play with him one day. I give speeches about how I survived as a Caretaker, and I say you draw on memories.
Now, it isn't a memory from 20 years ago I need to bring up, yesterday and when we went to Robert Moses, and when we went to dinner, etc are NEW Memories. Wow.
Neil is so much better and I keep my fingers crossed, it keeps up.

Our team, "Neil's Wheels" joined forces with the Port Washington team, "Student Voices Loud & Proud" in the annual NAMI WALK to raise money needed to educate all of us on how we can help the 25% of our population that suffer from some form of Brain Disorders. Over $200,000 was raised on a beautiful day at Jones Beach.

We collected well over 600 cans of food at the final barbecue/dance at Manhasset Middle School. In a driving rainstorm, 290 kids showed up and several students made jewelry for Neil's Wheels and they brought in $63 which will mean approx. 63 more cans of food.
We have donated over 20,000 cans so far!!!!!
