Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Day
is on February 14, 2006. The senior high school where Will would have gone is having a ceremony to put plaques on their AEDs in memory of Will and a man whose family donated money for an AED. I am really looking forward to being there and seeing the plaque go up. What perfect timing! -
