Golfing "Fore" Parker

Last year when we were in Milan, we met a Canadian family whose son has the same condition as Sebastian. They'll be in Italy for a short time for their son's annual follow up and we look forward to seeing them again. They are having a golf tournament to raise funds for their son. Anyone who has had an ill family member knows how costly it can be. If you reside close by Ontario Canada or are in a position to sponsor a hole please read below:

Six.

Today Sebastian turned six years old. We all had a nice day. In the back of my mind I was thinking this is all possible because of talented scientists and doctors who have dedicated their life's work to understanding how our bodies function and coming up with cures for very complex ailments. Thank you—Grazie.

There is a beautiful, two year old Canadian girl with the same condition as Sebastian, who we have been following for some time. Take a look at the video her mom made.
