#spreadsomesparkle

A young lady on our street passed away 2 years ago. Her name was Erin and her mom really is amazing. She started what she thought was a small fundraiser to build a playground at the hospital that Erin got chemo treatments at. It turned to be a "sparkle run" that had more than 1000 participants and that raised over $30,000 to build the park! 

Every year on her birthday week people do random acts of kindness with the hashtag #spreadmoresparkle. This year it was so fun seeing on facebook what everyone was doing to honor Erin's memory. From pencils sticking out of the ground at the busstop, to money taped to the teacher's lounge soda machine. We decided to buy some pet supplies and donate to the ARL in Ankeny after Kenna went to Peyton's birthday party. There we ran into our neighbor who was adopting a dog!
