Various Walks

Ben and I participate in various walks. Right now we walk for March for Babies and Memory Walk. Next year we (well I) plan to add Relay for Life and Buddy Walk.

The first year of doing the March for Babies then Walk America, Ben and I walked 9 miles, which isn't offered anymore because not many people did it. Last year I walked 6 miles and this year only 3. But it doesn't matter how many miles I walk, because the money is going to a good cause.

This was my first year for walking in the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk. I was on Vallhaven Forget-Me-Nots. I walked with Shanna and Harrison. With the option to walk either 1.1 miles or 3.4 miles, Shanna and I opted to go for the longer of the 2. We didn't go the full 3 because neither of us wanted to carry Harrison the full length back. Harrison was a real trooper though, he helped pull his wagon and even rode on my shoulders for part of the trip back.

Next year year I plan on joining the Relay for Life team that is stated at Vallhaven also. With so many people in our families that have been effected by cancer, it seems like a great walk to raise money for cancer reserch and programs.

And last but not least that I would like to add to the worthy cause walks is the Buddy Walk. Helping to raise awarness for downs. I will join Team Logan. Logan is Shanna's godson and his mother and her are great friends. By 2010 Shanna and Melaine would like to have a Buddy Walk in our area, so as not to travel as far.

If you would like to sponser Ben and me in any of these walks, just click on the symbol on the left to the corresponding walk. I thank you in advance, and I would like to once again thank all those who have already sponsered us.
