Saving Lives - One Walk At A Time

We recently set the alarm, laced up our best walking shoes, scored some lattes and headed out to the American Cancer Society Breast Cancer Walk. We even bundled up our little E as it was a wee bit chilly here with Fall upon us now.

We were blessed with a beautiful Saturday morning. The leaves were many shades of happy and the air felt good in our lungs.

Here are the ladies, ready and raring to go!

Little E was warm and cozy in her outdoor jumper, which resembled a sleeping bag-like material (in cute little girl pink!). When we took her out of it after the walk, she was almost sweating! Believe it or not, she kept her sunglasses on all morning, which invited a few photographs and comments about the "movie star" and her hired help.

It was a great time and always nice to get out. From what I understand, a record-setting crowd answered the call of duty this year, providing for a record-setting donation total! Congratulations and Thank You to Angela (LwH fan and loyal reader!) for leading the GM team as the Making Strides Captain!

10/30/08 UPDATE:

• Total Donations to date = Over $308,000.00 (first year the walk raised over 300k)
• GM donations to date = $38,770.00
• Pacesetters = Out of the 11 Pacesetters (walkers that raised over $2000) at the Ann Arbor walk, 7 of them are part of the GM TEAM!! Awesome job ladies!!
