Walk for Kids 2011

Team 'Pursuit of Happiness' was able to raise $800 for Ronald McDonald House Charities. There were 19 registered team members, three did not participate in the walk, but there were family members who were not able to sign up spouses or children because registration requires an email address (one registrant per address). I believe we counted that there were 23 participants in the walk.

Erin and I before the walk. We didn't end up walking until 8:50 which sucks because it was supposed to start at 8 a.m.

BACK ROW: Johnny, (my brother Brandon's girlfriend - Victoria?), cousin Eduardo, Mommy, Ray, brother Andrew, Erin and Dustin.

MIDDLE ROW: Aunt Laurie (behind the green sweater), brother Brandon, cousin Amanda, (Eduardo's girlfriend), uncle Aaron, (I think the ball of hair behind me is cousin Alyssa) and Trisha (Stuart's cousin, wife to Dustin behind her).

FRONT ROW: Cousin Sarah, uncle Mike, cousin Lilly, cousin Cynthia, Me and Danielle.

NOT SHOWN: Aunt Angie and team members Joy J., Chantal L. and Trisha's sister-in-law (?) who also was unable to make it.

So here's the team. Lots of friends and family showed up. Some returners and a lot of new comers! Happily it seems like the newcomers are excited to participate again next year. I bought name tags and wrote our team name on them and I think if we can pull together next year and make a team of 40, I'd like to make some signs or a banner and nicer name tags. :D Wouldn't that be great?! We also went to breakfast afterwards as a team (a large portion participated in this).

Here is the shirt I got for raising an individual amount over $100.

I realize it's a silly thing to get excited about, but I really like this shirt. Not only is it NOT white (I hate white shirts, the only ones I have are free ones from events), it's made of amazingly soft material. Like it has a higher thread count than regular event shirts. Amazing.

End result: Next year we are going bigger. ;)
