Pass it on, Thursday 10/16/25 is wear red for Emi day!

Tomorrow is wear red for Emi Belford day. Emi is the 6th grader from Galatia who suffered cardiac arrest at a basketball game Tuesday night. Her family and friends have asked that we share the message that tomorrow is wear red for Emi day. I will dedicate a special post to her where she and the family are able to see all of the people wearing red in support of her. Pass it on, 10/16/25 (Thursday) is wear red for Emi day.

Continued prayers especially to the Belford’s but also to her friends, family, those heroes who responded to save her, and those kids and adults who witnessed her medical emergency last night.
