We are truly grateful and amazed daily at all the generosity and support for Sophie from all of the wonderful friends, family, and strangers.
We just wanted to take a minute to recognize the individual efforts of Maria Holaday. She is an old neighbor of Marc, Emily, and Sophie's from Cincinnati. Maria has been a marathoner for a long time, however, for this year's Boston Marathon, which will take place on Monday, April 16th, Maria has been raising money for a cause, and that cause is Smiles for Sophie.
Just today, she made a deposit of $2300 to the Smiles for Sophie account. This was from donations she has collected from friends, family, strangers, and "Sophie supporters" as she ventures out on her "run for the cause." Even still, donations have continued to pour in as Maria has continued to let everyone know about Sophie and how they can help by supporting her in the run.
Thank you so much, Maria, for your endless energy (to even complete all these runs :-)!!) and for dedicating this year's run to Sophie. We truly appreciate all you do. Have a great run!!!
Love,
Sarah
P.S. The above picture is Maria doing Sophie's first haircut!!!

Dear Maria....As one set of Sophie's grandparents, Bill and I want to especially thank you for the wonderful thing you are doing. We will be thinking of you on April 16. The kindness of all the people working for Sophie's various fundraisers has just been overwhelming. It really does renew ones faith and spirit.
Happy Easter Sophie & Sarah!
Love,
Summer & Sienna
We are so sorry to see such lousy weather for your run. We can only imagine how much work it has taken to prepare for today.
