A Worthy Cause

On Saturday we went to Longview to the East Texas Angel Network Meet-n-Greet with Neal McCoy. We go every year the last weekend in September which is called the Angel Weekend. If you didn't know, Neal is an amazing philanthropist. ETAN is his charity. It provides financial support to over 200 families from Northeast Texas that have children with life-threatening, debilitating diseases. He keeps it local which I think is awesome! During Braydon's treatment, our family was a recipient of some of that help. So the last weekend of September every year he and some of his "friends" get together and meet their "angels". Past friends over the last four years have included: Charlie Pride, Jamie O'Neal, The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, Kevin Sharp, Joe Nichols, Jack Hanna...the list goes on! Below are pics from this year's event...
