  1. Thank you, Wayland eNews for linking to our story. We are so lucky to live in Wayland when such a tragedy hits our family! Wayland friends, especially those from the First Parish in Wayland (Unitarian), have been wonderful support for us. We will be walking to defeat ALS again this fall, this time in Beverly!
