Working in the place that I do, I see the effects of this terrible disease on a daily basis. I have watched family members struggle to understand why their loved one doesn't understand they aren't a child anymore. I have seen as an individual as slowly forgotten how to walk and eat - it really is a terrible disease.
Without fail this walk always brings a tear or two into my eyes as I see the crowds of people walking for the same cause I am.
This was a beautiful day for a walk and we had a GREAT team! We raised a total of $850!!! I was so proud of the team! We also had eight walkers, although a couple ended up getting a stomach bug and couldn't join us on the actual walk.
I am so grateful to all of those who supported me with this. I know that this is making a difference in the fight!
Speaking of fight - I had the song, "Eye of the Tiger" in my head the whole time and since I only know the one line sang it over and over! Most likely annoying the other walkers! :)
Here are a few shots from the walk!
At the beginning totally pumped to walk the 3 miles!
Lots of people joined us this year!
So excited!!
We reached the halfway mark - lost half of our team, but still going strong!
