"Anyone can give up.  It's the easiest thing in the world to do.  But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength" ~ Unknown

This week's Time Well Spent is dedicated to one HRM Parent's "Playdate with a Purpose".  A great event that will get you and the kids out of the house for a bit of fun, snacks, crafts and hope for the future.  Sarah is a strong mom with a mission to raise money for MS in support of her husband's recent diagnosis.  Here's a exert from her blog on the event:

I'm Sarah, the mommy behind "Team Daddy". My husband Jeff (Will & Olivia's Daddy) was diagnosed with MS three years ago and since then we've been dealing with its impact on our family and our future.

We are tired of sitting back and letting MS dictate how we live our lives. That's why we're raising $10K for the MS Walk. We can't do it without your help though. Which is why we're inviting you to join in the fun.  On Sunday, May 15th Go Active Kids has generously donated their facility for a Playdate with a Purpose - a fundraiser for Team Daddy.

Bring your kids, your nieces & nephews, your godchildren, your big and little brothers, the kids you babysat when you were a teen, your surrogate kiddos, your grandchildren, the kids next door - heck, we don't care. It's only $5 a kid - you could charter a bus and we'd welcome you at the door with open arms.

In addition to the amazing indoor play structure and toys, we'll have snacks, raffles for awesome prizes, crafts and a lot of hope for a future that's full of more fun than fear.

Please tell your friends to tell their friend, who will tell the mommy she walks with on every Wednesday, who will tell the gals in Strollerfit, who will rave about it at the library, who will mention it at the mall, who will tell the mommies at Costco who will go home and force the daddies to take the kids for the day on May 15th so they can get a pedicure. As they walk out the door without a care in the world the daddy will happily head to Go Active Kids for easy play.

Spending time with the family is even better when it's for a good cause.  Help Team Daddy out this weekend by attending their Playdate with a Purpose, 'like' them on Facebook for updates,  visit their blog or email them at teamdaddyms@gmail.com if you're interested in attending the event.
