Kristy~ I am sorry to hear about your mom. My aunt died of the disease, my mil is a survivor and my daughter's boyfriend's mother died of it when he was only 8 yrs old.
I have a friend who is a survivor and my daughter is friends with her daughter so they decided to put a team together for the 3 Day Walk in honor of her and they called it Team Reg (her name is Regina) My niece and SIL were on the team as well...there were 5 high school seniors and 4 moms who were on the team. They raised $2500 each!!
I was so proud of all of them when I attended the closing ceremonies Sunday....the energy and positive atmosphere even after 3 days and walking 60 miles was incredible!! I was crew and helped but I didn't walk due to other kid obligations and my birthday but I am sorry now and I might do it next year.
I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get involved in this worthwhile cause.
Thanks for the thread Kristy. Very cute collar. |
