Update: We have confirmed that the segment on Emily and Maddie will air tonight, April 17th, on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. Look here to find out when it airs in your area. If you prefer, you will be able to watch the show streamed over the internet after 10pm ET.

Wow! We just added the proceeds from a number of different events into the total and came up with a whopping $64,185. We can’t believe it! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to TwoTrials. Your contributions go directly to the MCCP to help children like Maddie. By the way, if you want to know more about what the MCCP does, check out their video, which is now on our page about them.

The other big news is that NBC Nightly News is going to run a profile on us tonight or tomorrow night. They were here last weekend filming a segment to air on the national news before the Trials. We don’t yet know when it will run, but we will let you know as soon as we know. In the meantime, check here to find out when NBC Nightly News runs in your area.

    That is great news! I’m very excited for you.

    Good luck this weekend, I’ll be down there to cheer you on. I can’t wait to hear what the final numbers are after the donations from folks running on Monday are tallied up.

    I work with your uncle, Gerald M Rosenberg, MD. He told me about you today and gave me your website. He seems very proud of you. I have shared it with the office. Good luck with everything.

    God bless you and your family,
    Bridget

    The work you are doing, for Maddie, for Two Trials and for your own training is both fabulous and INSPIRING! GO EMILY! I’ll be thinking of you and rooting for you from Chewonki. Please do some running for me until I can get my mobility back.

    With love,

    Lucy
