Rocknoceros Rocked out for Kylie Xiu (our Kylie too)

Last Saturday, we attended a fundraiser for the SIDS Mid-Atlantic group. They hold meetings once a month for parents who have lost a child under the age of 1. They have been very helpful for me and we have met a lot of amazing people. It is not a group of people you want to have to meet, but I am glad that I have met all of them. They have all been so nice, welcoming and supportive. We all share a common bond which makes it even more special. I am very blessed to have met these people.
Anyways, moving to the point. The Clifford family lost their little Kylie to SIDS 7 years ago and have a fundraiser every year. This year they happened to have Rocknoceros play at the elementary school where Kat (Kylie's mother) teaches. We decided to go for a couple reasons, A. I love Rocknoceros and B. it was for a great cause and I wanted to meet the parents of little Kylie. We had a great time. Haley was a little sleepy due to waking up early after going to bed late, but she still had a blast. We ended up spending a good amount of money, but got some good stuff to show for it other than it going to a great cause. We wont 10 free open plays at Wee Play in Reston, a gift card to a shop (this will be a gift), 3 hours of an architect to come to the house, a Tastefully Simple basket and a bunch of gift cards to yummy restaurants. Two of which went to my parents for just being awesome and a moving gift.

Not a great picture, but its the only one of Kiptyn.

Thank you Clifford family for sharing your story and for a fun time on a Saturday afternoon!
