We haven't raised as much money as in the past, but hopefully we'll find a way to get back to that moving forward. We did forgo ordering new shirts to donate the money instead and have actually talked about combining efforts for the many charitable walks we do with our friends and making our own ALS/Cancer/Heart Walk in honor/memory of so many of our loved ones.
A family picture:
I just love the look of wonder in Jackson's eyes in this one
We've made it a tradition to have lunch at one of our old favorite watering holes after the walk. Rick, Brooke, and Baby Avery couldn't make it, but here are our other 3 little ones (with their dads) on their first trip to Adairs:
These are the amazing friends who physically walked with us this year (not pictured is Don who gets special kudos for doing another walk earlier that morning and still making it to Grand Prairie to finish our walk with us). We have so many amazing friends, not just those who physically walked with us, but all of our family and friends - We are so lucky! While it hasn't been exactly the same group each year, we've always had such a great turnout and it's been fun to watch our group go from about adults and 1 kiddo (only Connor the first 2 years) to 18 adults, 4 little ones, and a dog (Jason'g dog Oliver - aka Ollie) this year!
...Til next time, Keep Shuffling!
