On September 29th we participated in a walk to get funds for childhood cancer research. It was truly an amazing experience we had never participated in a walk like this. We were very blessed to have family and friends with us. we had about 20 people on our team. since it was our first year we thought we would go easy and see what it's like. In over all attendance there was over 3000 people and we collected over $160,000 dollars. Here's a link to the page if you would like to check it out.
http://www.curesearchwalk.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1012842 we chose Curesearch because they are one of the organizations that has the least cost in overhead and so more of the money goes directly to research. It was great to know that we took part in something that hopefully will provide others with a cure or at least help with treatment. Since we didnt know what to expect they had an opening ceremony and had a memorial for those kids that were lost to cancer during the year and then they had all the children with cancer go up and give them a medal. It was very touching to see how or Heaven Father sent so many special kids this earth. Just by seeing them you could feel their strong spirits. We would like to say thanks to all those that participated in the walk and donated to our team and for those that are currently working for donations.
