The MOMENT youโ€™ve all been waiting forโ€ฆ because of your fundraising efforts, donations, and unwavering support, we officially MET our $20,000 goal!!!โœจ

This marks the second year in a row weโ€™ve reached this milestone, and itโ€™s truly not lost on us how lucky we are to be surrounded by a community that continues to show up in such a big way. Every laugh, every dollar, every shared post, every step walked, and every small effort added up to something incredible. This is a true โ€œpinch usโ€ moment, and weโ€™re beyond thrilled to announce that our final SMILE was met. ๐Ÿงก

And while the smile on our goal chart is pretty specialโ€ฆ we know itโ€™s still not as big as the one smiling down on all of us. โ˜€๏ธ

Because of this support, weโ€™re able to continue honoring Chrissyโ€™s legacy through the UIC Christina Rose Smith Legacy Award in Physical Therapy Fund and through the small (but mighty) acts of giving throughout our communities. Chrissy gave so much to so many of us, and seeing all of you continue to celebrate her heart, her joy, and her spirit alongside us means MORE than words can say.

THANK YOU for carrying this forward with us. For showing up. For remembering her. For loving her so loudly. ๐Ÿงก

We interrupt your work week for a little joyful post ๐Ÿงก

You didnโ€™t know itโ€ฆbut we knew it.

And we were watching on 4/25.

Watching you fully commit to the silliness, the fun, the joy, and the absolute CHAOS in honor of our Chrissy. And honestly? We have no doubt you made her laugh the biggest. YOU know the laugh.

John, Ava, and Mike โ€” between the costumes, the commitment, and the โ€œweโ€™re really doing thisโ€ energyโ€ฆyou three stood out in the best way.

So check your emails ๐Ÿ‘€โ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿฉ

There you will find a little treat from us to you for keeping it real and reminding everyone that this day is also about laughter, lightness, and not taking ourselves too seriously. PLUS, Chrissy really loved a treat.

If you ever wonder what weโ€™re chasingโ€ฆ itโ€™s THISโœจ

Pure, unfiltered joyโ€”exactly how she lived every single day.

You can almost hear her laugh in moments like these. ๐Ÿฅน

We know Chrissy wouldโ€™ve been right here with us, laughing the loudest. ๐Ÿงก

Turns out it takes a whole lot of good humans to pull off a day like Saturday ๐Ÿงก

To every sponsor and donor who jumped in to support this walkโ€ฆTHANK YOU.

You helped create the shirts on our backs, the moments throughout the day, and the ability for us to continue showing up in meaningful ways.

Big love to the businesses and people who chose to be part of this with us.

You truly helped make moments matter.

Every vest, every helping hand, every โ€œwhat do you need?โ€โ€ฆeven the last minute morning trips to the hardware store โ€” this is what makes it ALL work & the magic happen!

We say it all the time, but we mean it every timeโ€ฆthis doesnโ€™t happen without YOU.

You didnโ€™t just show upโ€ฆyou carried this. Our Chrissy would be giving you extra big bear hugs for this past Saturday.

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! ๐Ÿงก

This is what it LOOKED like. But more importantlyโ€ฆthis is what it ๐‘“๐‘’๐‘™๐‘ก like.

So much laughter. So many hugs. So many moments that reminded us exactly why we do this.

You showed up for her. You showed up for each other. And somehow, in the middle of all of it, we felt her right there with us.

Weโ€™ll never be able to fully say thank youโ€ฆbut we hope you felt it. ๐Ÿงก
