Fundraiser #1- Car Wash

Today was the kick off to our Month of Fundraising.  We had a car wash at King's Paint in Capitola; it was a success!  The day started out foggy and cold, but it turned out it was actually better to wash the cars in that weather since the soap didn't dry right away.  It got warmer throughout the day, and we had a lot of people who wanted to help us by donating :)  It was a lot of fun, and it was a really good feeling knowing that we were spreading the word about Timmy to people who hadn't heard about what happened to him yet.

We are thinking about maybe making it a monthly thing since we had so much fun doing it.

Now for a little update on Timmy.  While we were out washing cars to raise money for him, he was at his facility with our Mom watching the 49ers and Giants games.  When my mom would tell him the Giants were going to win today so that they would be the champs, he would look at the 'no' card.  After they won my mom grabbed his arm and was like "Timmy, Timmy they won!!" she says that he started laughing a lot at that point, and smiling.  After that, he thought everything was funny!  When my mom told him she was going to go home and wash his pillow, he started cracking up, laughing harder than she has heard him in a long time.  We think that he kept saying they wouldn't win because he didn't want to jinx them ;)
