Your Excuse is Invalid NFP

You know what I love about our charity?!? I love the look on people’s faces when they get a sunshine bag/box or spinal cord injury backpack from our organization. That familiar look I know oh so well that says they feel seen and not alone! Thankyou to all our donors who help make this possible we could not do what we do without all of you and I hope you know that you are loved and appreciated. We have not been able to fundraise like normal due to my own health battles but you guys have always helped when you can and God has always provided so we can do what we do best! Root on others in rough medical journeys!

If anyone is interested in a charity bracelet where all the proceeds go toward our mission please reach out as we can mail them directly to you let’s get a teal and lime green wave going in support of Your Excuse is Invalid NFP!

Hello everyone
I know it has been awhile since I have posted! We have a lot of exciting things coming and I get the pleasure of introducing to you one of them today! Welcome to Your Excuse is Invalid NFP our new program called “Kevin’s random acts of kindness”!
So first of all you may be wondering who is Kevin? Well Kevin Thornton is an amazing person in my life! He has been such an intricate part of my life and my medical journey up here at Mayo Clinic. He is the person I did not know my soul needed and a I truly believe God orchestrated our paths crossing up here. He is one of the pieces of this medical journey I would never trade and I would go through all this again to meet the people I have met. He is the epitome of giving the shirt off your back because I have no doubt that he would. He is always doing for others and turning around and helping the next person behind him.
Kevin’s random acts of kindness is a program that as a part of this charity will pick up the meals of those going through rough medical journeys. It also will provide gift cards for grocery, DoorDash, etc for those staying long term for medical purposes. So join me in welcoming Kevin’s random acts of kindness to Your Excuse is Invalid and giving a warm welcome and virtual hug to Kevin Thornton!

Our elf friend says have a very merry Christmas Eve and remember to do those exercises with weights in one hand and a sugar cookie in the other. Calories dont count if they serve as a weight right!?!

This last weekend we enjoyed delivering several warmies stuffed animals, blankets, and craft kits to the Mayo ICU unit. This coming week we will be delivering to the Mayo rehabilitation unit!
