***UPDATE***The rant below was recorded before I saw the video that shows Zimmerman being led in handcuffs for questioning. It doesn’t look like Zimmerman sustained any serious injuries.
These thoughts are my own, and forgive me for speculating or for providing any information that is less than accurate.
Fox 35 (Orlando), has an exclusive interview with George Zimmerman’s father, Robert who says that Trayvon swung first, and threatened to kill George Zimmerman (you have to watch the story though, because Trayvon apparently said that after Zimmerman pulled out his gun).
I wasn’t there and honestly only God, Trayvon (RIP), and admitted shooter – George Zimmerman knows what happened.
I just recorded my first podcast in support our March of Dimes’ campaign.
I haven’t shared this particular part of the story with many people, but I think it helps explain why we March for Babies.
Our goal hasn’t changed.
We’re raising $5,000 this year, and I know we will get it.
Thanks to all of you that shared our story over the years, or donated.
It warms our hearts to have friends and associates who are so giving.
Please donate to Team Rico and Jordan now.
I just made $50.00 donation to the March of Dimes to Team Rico and Jordan, and hope you’ll join my wife and me as we raise money on behalf of our twin boys.
If you want to know and haven’t seen this short documentary called, “My Boys,” please you watch it now.
It’s been almost six years since our first born sons Rico and Jordan were born prematurely at 20 weeks. We think about our little angels every day.
Of course, we have plenty of reasons to celebrate. We’ve been blessed with an adorable three-year-old boy, Devin. As we watch him grow and learn, we often think what our lives would be like if his two brothers were still with us.
Each year we ask for our friends and family to help us support a cause that is near and and dear to our hearts, and each year you answer by generously giving to Team Rico and Jordan. In fact, we are among one of the top fundraising teams in the Atlanta metro area .
The March of Dimes March for Babies is approaching, and as we’ve done for the past five years or so, we’re asking for your generous help.
This year, my personal goal is to raise $1,500.00 dollars, and with your support, I know that I’ll get it.
I want to keep this short, but if you have $5, $10, $25 or even $100 dollars, please take a moment to make a donation. www.marchforbabies.org/amanichannel
The March of Dimes is a great nonprofit working diligently to insure that all babies get the chance to live healthy lives, and I thank you in advance for your generosity.
