I will be walking here in Bend ... with our team! Thank you so much for posting this.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I made a small donation to your niece's team. Wish it could be more. I will be helping another team in our area as well. Such a worthy cause. I hope your niece does well with her team's fundraising.
ReplyDeleteOh! I am so glad you all are walking and thank you so much!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you raise lots of money. :-)
ReplyDeleteGOOD FOR YOU! also supporting your cause with a small donation.
ReplyDeleteI know so many who have lost (or are losing) loved ones to this horrible disease.
I have worked in memory care now for 3 years NEVER had the chance to walk with my companies. Hope this year I will have taht day off so I can! Have a good rest of the week and a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you all . You all are great!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all again for your surport . I have reached my goal thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteKaren.... thanks for posting this reminder to all of us.....
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you'll have the opportunity to walk this time...
Hugs,
Thanks . I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI had done the walk last year here in CA and I along with my friend raise major bank with garage sales and parties at restaurants...we worked hard and I think I was driven by the fact that it was right after my Dad passed away. Needed to feel like I was honoring him. This is year I was bummed as I could be about him. I wasnt going to do the walk but I think I need to kick myself out of my lump and walk. Maybe be on the news again like last year. I may not raise as much money but it something.
ReplyDeleteThanks for walking!!!!! Go Purple!!!!
