Last weekend we went to Oak Harbor to participate in the "Walk for Babies" with Kali and Gabe. They had the biggest group with colorful yellow T-shirts. There must have been 30 of us. There were other groups but ours was the biggest. Kali works for a OBGYN (baby doctor) and Gabe is a peditrician.
We only walked 1 .5 miles which only took a half hour. The walk was beautiful though; along the beach in Oak Harbor. Kali had written "this way to walk for babies", and Gabe wrote one saying, "walkin' with my baby." I thought that was cute!
After the walk we all met back at the park to have hot dogs and potato chips, pop and visit. They did take a group picture but I don't have that to share. It was a lot of fun and the day was beautiful, just a little chilly on the water.
I did get a letter in the mail the other day saying that the whole group had raised $8,000 dollars. Kali's group raised $2,500 of that; quite an accomplishment!
The next major thing I am involved in is Cancer Relay for Life in Stanwood. A group from our ward is being organized. You walk all day and all night and people agree to sponsor you for how many miles you walk or give a set amount of money! I can walk to raise money or just walk in the survivor walk. I haven't decided yet what I'll do. So onwards and upwards.
