Team Eddie Spaghetti

Eddie did a great job kickstarting the 23rd annual Walk-For-Wishes at the Cleveland Zoo.  This past Saturday we were surrounded by family and friends to complete the 1 mile walk as team "Eddie Spaghetti."  We surpassed our fundraising goal and were able to raise $3,775 so that other kids in the area can have their wishes granted.  Our team had 37 walkers, both young and old!  We appreciate everyone who donated online to our team goal and we also appreciate everyone who travelled near and far to join us on the walk (and for waking up really early and joining us on a Saturday morning!).  It was so nice to celebrate Eddie and to finally be able to say thank you to Make-A-Wish by giving back to this awesome organization.  Eddie's trip to Disney World was incredible and it truly did help heal all three of our hearts after a rough couple of years.  We enjoyed seeing everyone in their blue "Eddie shirt" to help raise awareness for retinoblastoma too.  What a day and what weekend for the Johnson's!
