Fundraiser for a Friend

Paige's best friend and her younger sister have a rare kidney disease called ARPKD. They have a few different ways of fundraising throughout the year to raise money for medical bills, travel expenses, and possible drug trial participation. This past weekend they had a pasta dinner/raffle and Paige and I attended with some other friends. Paige was really nervous to be there but warmed up as soon as she saw Jaina and then moved on to telling me she was going to "do her own thing" and could walk around by herself. We knew enough people there that it was fine with me! It was sad thinking they needed to even be having a fundraiser in the first place but everyone I saw had a great time and they raised a lot of money!
