Birthday Week Events: Day 1 – CHALLENGE!! “Shove It Away”

Calling all party people!!!

We are officially within one week of Oakley’s birthday (6/13), so we’re going to have some fun.

Each of the next seven days, we’re going to have a different event that’s fun for us, but also helps raise money for COTA for Oakley Strong. There will be giveaways some days, challenges other days, and we’ll try to mix it up. It’s like a birthday present for everyone.

DAY ONE (was actually 6/7/23!):

Kicking things off with a CHALLENGE!

A few days ago I posted about Oakley’s oral aversion. We all have our go-to favorite meals, our morning stop at the coffee shop, our quickie fast food lunches, or even just our favorite “once in a while” treat. Oak doesn’t have that. Any of it. We’re working toward it, but for now he shoves it all away.

So my challenge for you: in honor of Oakley, “shove your [go-to food/drink] away”. This week (Oakley’s birthday week), give up your morning coffee or your lunchtime fast food run, and donate the money you saved to COTA for Oakley Strong. Or it could be approached by instead donating the cost of your favorite meal/special treat.

Let’s honor our favorite little McSquish while doing something good for ourselves (‘cause generally speaking, favorite/go-to treats aren’t usually the healthiest ????). Then treat yourself on June 13th with an extra big piece of birthday cake ????.

 Also, as a reminder, as of right now we still have $1798 remaining to be matched, so your donation today will really be like donating TWO of your favorite go-to snacks/meals/drinks. That’s like a buy one get one, and everyone loves those ????.
