Raising Money For NBIA Research

Help me raise money for NBIA research by making a donation as I run the Boston 2011 Marathon in April, 2011 in Brittany's honor.


Although I have crossed my marathon finishing line, the race isn't over for NBIA! Please consider making a donation...


We are so close to reaching $5000...only $135 to go!


Checks payable to:


NBIA Disorders Association


And can be sent to:

Boston for Brittany

c/o Sandy and Rich Leap
14852 Ashby Oak Ct. Haymarket, VA 20169 (Brittany's Mother and Father).


Funds will go directly to research in hopes of finding a cure. Also, they are 100% tax deductible.

She is Totally Cool!

I showed this picture to Ethan the other day and told him that Brittany was home from getting her new trach.  I explained that with this device in place, Brittany would be able to breathe not only from her nose and mouth but her neck as well.  He was amazed and said, "So if I plug her nose and cover her mouth she can still breathe?" 

I said,"Yes, she can."

He then replied, "She is totally cool mom!"

Indeed, Brittany is totally cool sporting her new trach.  After spending over a month in the hospital, the family returned home last week!  We missed you guys so much!  Brittany is doing well adjusting to her fancy "neck ware" and Sandy and Rich are as usual, becoming experts in everything trach.

As the Boston Marathon draws near (on April 19), please make your donation to NBIA.  We are inching ever so close to our $2620 goal...will you help...you would be totally cool!
