Our nephew McKay is a miracle child and a blessing in the lives of everyone around him. For detailed information about McKay (and a chance to cry your eyes out), click here.
This is from his Web site, Miracles for McKay:
McKay Roe teaches us everyday and continually reminds us of that which is most important. For not being able to speak, McKay has an uncanny ability to always draw attention to his beautiful blue eyes calm expressions, and the magical gift of life. He is such a sweet boy and has a special influence on all who meet him.
McKay was born with a severe medical condition wherein a brain malformation has caused cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, seizures, hearing loss, cortical blindness and other physical disabilities. He does not talk, has never cried, but will randomly coo. He is fully dependent on others for his personal care and is confined to a wheelchair. McKay lives at home with his mom, dad, two brothers, and a sister.
This year, McKay celebrates his 8th birthday. Due to his growth and physical development, his needs are becoming greater. He is growing out of his car seat and his wheelchair is too heavy for his mom to lift in and out of a vehicle. As friends, we have noticed the family’s need of a handicap accessible van which, due to high expense, is a purchase difficult for them to acquire alone. It is our goal to raise enough money to help this family afford what has become to them a necessity, a full size handicap accessible van. McKay and his family all deserve this miracle.

What a sweet boy! And what good friends to start this fund for him and his family. Thank you for letting us know this opportunity to help is out there!
So Jon totally knows your bro-in-law from EFY, he talks about him being the cool session director with the hot wife (not that Jon is saying I'm not a hot wife, just saying that was Bro. Roe's reputation :) What a small world! I was surprised thinking back on our get-together with Fernando and Sharon that it never came up from Ryan that his bro was a session director, he could have joined all the EFYers in popularity while you and I can only claim such fame by by marriage, not blood. We're still so hip though, so I'm okay with that. :) p.s., loved the McKay blog, what a cute little boy and beautiful family.
