With all the chatter on the internet of Maddie’s passing the Spohr’s story was picked up over the weekend by local media outlets.

Maddie’s story was featured on KTLA news this evening and was also printed in the LA Times.
{UPDATED TO ADD: LA Times server has been down. Article is also available here. }

The impression this little girl has made is very evident. Just look at this map of the US and all the locations which now have walks in place for Maddie.

Sweet, innocent 17-month Madeline Alice passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday April 7, 2009 and while her parents are in the midst of their own personal nightmare, we – their community members and friends, have begun to rally together to offer support to this young family. Donations to Madeline’s March of Dimes page have grown exponentially over the past 24 hours while walking groups in Maddie’s honor have begun to sprout up all over the country.

Support for The Spohrs has been completely overwhelming and completely humbling leaving me awestruck of just how compassionate and loving people still really are. Of all the drama that’s plagued twitter and blogs over the past while, it’s a beautiful thing to see everyone come together in support of someone many have not met – so much so that The Spohrs hosting came crashing down due to the weight of your love. After a few shout outs for help, we were able to move Heather’s blog to a dedicated server offered up by a stranger wonderful, thoughtful couple – @PrincessJenn and her partner worked tirelessly for hours to get Heather’s site moved to their server where the traffic was still so heavy it’s been bogging them down as well. I know Mike and Heather can feel our love, and though it really won’t change anything or bring their beloved Maddie back, just knowing there are so many of us pulling is hopefully uplifting enough to get them through the difficult days to come.

Last week, Heather and I were talking about creating a banner for her March for Maddie page at March for Babies site. Before this tragedy, it was a small project meant to headline a space Heather holds very dear to her heart. In light of Tuesday’s events it’s taken on a new life as a place for everything Maddie. To be honest, I hadn’t thought the entire thing through before I got started but the ultimate goal of the site will be to collect every post, montage, podcast, picture, song – whatever – so that Mike and Heather will have it all at their fingertips. People come, people go. Blogs changes, links are broken and it would really be a shame for all these beautiful contributions to be lost (over 275 posts written in dedication to Maddie already! OMG people!), floating around in the Interwebs. You’ve worked tirelessly and with a little help we can make this site showcase your efforts for Mike and Heather to reflect on for years to come.

For the time being it may be a little sparse, with links sending you elsewhere but eventually everything will be here for Heather and Mike. Whatever they decide to do with this site will be entirely up to them. I am essentially planning to create it, develop it and hand over the keys.

But for now, we can use this space for our uplifting thoughts and notes for their family. Share of grief over their loss and share stories to make them laugh.

I bawled like a baby watching. Just so you know.
