Team Abby ROCKS!!

This past Saturday the New Hampshire Association for Blind's Blind Awareness Walk was help. Our team "Team Abby" did great. We estimate our amount raised was $3506 (we haven't gotten an official number yet) We even got the award top fundraising individual team. I am so proud. I named the team "Team Abby" because from the very start so many people have worked as a team to get Abby what she needed this past year (teachers, doctors, family and friends).    Team Abby Rocks.

Abby's Video

Abby and I made a video promoting the blind awareness walk we are doing for the NH Association for the Blind. I think its pretty cute if I say so myself.

Untitled from Penny Duffy on Vimeo.

There is some text in the video thats completley unaccessable by text readers. (this is something I have never thought about before) I put all the text in the video on the video's description which can be found here: http://vimeo.com/22150554
