Runs for Ted!
July 10, 2018
Take me out to a ball game, or 30 games!
This family of four from Arizona has decided to take a road trip to all 30 major league baseball stadiums. They will travel across the country in a span of 3 months! They have a facebook page and a website where you can get more information about where they’ve been and where they’re going. Each team or stadium they’ve been to has graciously given them things like tickets and autographed baseballs to raffle off. All of the money they raise will be donated to GiGi’s Playhouse!
Ted’s parents explain on their website, “Runs for Ted started as a little league rallying cheer after our 2 year old son Ted who was diagnosed with Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome, at his birth in the Spring of 2016. That simple cheer motivated his big brother Roy’s team and filled our hearts with so much encouragement that it has since morphed into a fundraising campaign that unites our family’s love of baseball with our love of the Down syndrome community.”
Ted Comes to Chicago
Ted and his family will visit the Cubs first at Wrigley on August 14th. Then head over to Guaranteed Rate Field to watch the White Sox play on August 17th. We hope that they will make a stop at GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago between games!
