Dear Frontline family,
Special thanks to everyone who participated in the AIDS Walk on Sunday. It was another great opportunity to serve those in need and truly change our world one life at a time.
Richard Titlebaum is having heart valve replacement surgery and three bypasses this Thursday at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. Please pray for Richard and consider visiting him.
Many have asked how to help the Schneemann family while Rachel is hospitalized. This Thursday is the Spaghetti Dinner Benefit at South Arbor Academy at 8200 Carpenter Road in Ypsilanti from 5-7 PM (get a map). You can also sign up to bring meals to Mott Children's Hospital (for Kirk and Heather) and/or the Schneemann home (for the Middlins, Ian, Kailey, and Trevor). They are deeply grateful for all of the visits, food, e-mails, and especially the prayers. Don't stop now!
The Frontline Calendar will remain a bit sparse until more is known about Rachel's future treatment which may include a stay at The Cleveland Clinic. If you have not already signed up for Rachel's Care Pages website, be sure to check it out. The user name is RachelGirl.
