Hi all,
I would like to invite you all to join Revolution Kites and The Dare to Dream Team in spreading the joy of kiting and Epilepsy Awareness.
Connor and I will be heading to Washington DC on March 18th to begin an exciting journey which will include appearing at the Smithsonian Indoor Kite Festival at the National Air and Space Museum, school appearances, and the National Walk for Epilepsy on the mall in DC on March 27, 2011. Connor and I will be flying at the event kickoff, and Connor will be speaking at the event as well as doing indoor demonstrations at the VIP dinner and the Youth Epilepsy event. It looks to be a very exciting week and we look forward to meeting new fliers and friends.
To help build support, Connor has started the DARE TO DREAM Team to raise funds for the National Walk for Epilepsy. This walk supports education world wide, as well as continues the search for a cure. Revolution Kites is supporting the cause by making a donation for every Dare to Dream Shirt sold to the Epilepsy Foundation. It is Connor's hope to hit a goal of $1000. in donations in the next 42 days. Even a small donation get him closer to this goal Please take a moment to visit the official Dare to Dream Team Page. Whether you can make a donation or not, we would like to thank you for the support and encouragment that you share on this journey.
