One Walking Fool

So, I've come to the conclusion that my legs are going to fall off by the end of June. You ask why? Well, it all started with me being team captain of Faithful Feet, a walking team for the MS Walk. Some of you may be wondering what the MS Walk is. The MS Walk is a 3-6 mile walk (6 miles for me) to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. I have been team captain of this team since the year I found out that one of my closest friends, Emily has MS. She found that information out about the time we graduated from high school. Right now, she is battling nonstop with it and it won't give in. Fortunately, she won't give in, either. My best friend of 20 some-odd years also just found out her mom has MS. So, please help out our team if you can and make a donation. I have posted an MS Walk link on the side of the page that takes you to the website where you can make an on-line donation. I'll be walking with my team on Saturday morning, April 18th.

Oh, but you think I'm done after that. Nope, that's just one of three. The next walk I will be participating in is the March of Dimes Walk on May 3. Remember all those babies I told you about in an eariler post? Well, one of those babies was born 3 months early and spent his summer vacation at Overland Park Regional. Max fought hard and had some struggles, but he is one of the cutest and toughest babies I know. Beth(Max's mom, my sister-in-law) is a team captain of Mad Max and Hunter. (Wonder why Hunter doesn't have a adjective with him?Maybe, it should be Mad Max and Handsome Hunter). Please support this team as we try to "de-feet" premature birth. I've also posted a link for this walk as well. Donations can be made up to the day of the walk.

Below is a video of Max and his trials from when he was born(Turn up your sound).

MAX THEN

MAX NOW (with cousin Josiah born 6 weeks later, but only 2 weeks early).

Finally, on June 6, I will be a member of a Relay for Life team in Kearney. I started walking in this event 3 years ago after my mother-in-law fought a battle with melanoma and beat the snot out of it. This walk means even more this year because my grandpa who is 84 years old was recently diagnosed and battling colon cancer. He will be having surgery this week to remove the slow growing tumor. Relay for Life starts on June 5 and ends on June 6. I will posting a link for this website also. Donations can be accepted until May 15th.

Even if you can't donate to all of the causes, at least one donation would be appreciated. If you can't donate, just support me by telling me that I will have legs by the end of June. I sure hope so, since I'll be going on vacation in July.
