On July 12, Taylor and his dad attended The Kennedy Funding Invitational Tennis Tournament at the Dellwood Country Club in New City, New York courtesy of good friends Alexis Wolfer and Justin Gimelstob. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon that was highlighted by a thrilling 3-set match between tennis greats Andre Agassi and Justin Gimelstob. Both players were true sportsmen and put on a great “show” for those in attendance. Taylor was lucky enough to sit “courtside” to witness the action up-close and personal.

In just its first three years, The Kennedy Funding Invitational has donated over $2 million to the renamed Leslie Simon Breast Cancer and Cytodiagnosis Center at Englewood Hospital and the Breast Cancer Center at Nyack Hospital.

Taylor just finished a two week stint working for the Tiger Woods Foundation and the AT&T National golf tournament, which is hosted by Tiger Woods. He had a great experience and saw many different facets of the tournament. The opportunity to work with the people he did and the chance to see a different side of a game he loved to play was really special for him. Not only did Taylor get to watch 4th of July fireworks with Tiger, but he also shook his hand after he won. So Cool!!! For more information on the tournament, visit www.attnational.org

Today, Taylor got an unbelievable opportunity to address the entire Delbarton School (his high school) community and discuss his life experiences and life lessons learned since his graduation in 2004. While he always loves visiting Delbarton, this experience was a dream come true. Thank you Delbarton, GO GREEN WAVE!!!

Taylor was again given a once in a lifetime opprotunity last night when he attended a small dinner in honor of the U.S. Women’s Solheim Golf Team. After having Morgan Pressel as a great dinner partner, Taylor and the rest of the Ladies spent the night on the town in Georgetown laughing, dancing and just getting to know one another better. Thanks to Morgan Pressel, Paula Creamer, Nicole Castrale, Cristie Kerr, Juli Inkster, Brittany Lincicome and the rest of the team for a memorable experience.

On November 16th, Taylor spoke at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, VA for approximately 600 students and faculty. Taylor delivered his message on overcoming adversity, continuing to pursue your life goals and dealing with self-image. This speech officially signified the commencement of Taylor’s “speaking tour”. Thanks to Bitsy and Johnny Motley for helping to arrange this opprotunity.

Last night, Taylor attended the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Foundation’s “A Magical Evening”, an annual fundraiser that is always a very special night. Accompanying Taylor were his parents, good friend from Georgetown Kelly Donovan, Vineyard Vines Co-founders and CEOs Shep and Ian Murray, Shep’s wife Margo, Jimmy Kenny, and Bill and Eileen Araskog. Once again, the message of finding a cure for paralysis was delivered with passion by Matthew, Alexandra and Will Reeve, who continue the mission that Chris and Dana started. All guests were entertained by a number of Robin William’s jokes and performances by the casts of Grease and Legally Blonde. Over $2 million were raised that will continue to fund all CDRF initiatives.

Georgetown Alum Meghan Devaney ‘05 and a really good friend of Taylor’s decided to run the ING NYC Marathon on November 4, 2007 as a member of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Foundation’s “Team Reeve”. Meghan’s tremendous efforts raised about $4,000 and she finished the marathon in very good time too. Taylor was so touched and proud of Meghan for doing this. Thank you Meghan!!!

Despite a recent veto by President Bush, democrats are looking to push the Stem Cell Bill next January when they take over the 110th Congress. The bill seeks to increase federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, which aims to treat and cure a wide variety of human diseases, including diabetes, spinal chord injuries, and Alzheimer’s. Despite increasing support from Americans, Bush and others vehemently oppose the research, which involves testing on human embryos, and equate the process with abortion.
