We took a walk

The Great Strides Walk today surpassed our expectations in every way! Great turn out, despite the fact that the weather early on wasn't inviting. But God cleared that all up just in time for the actual walk.

Lots of great food thanks to local restaurants and grocers. A super raffle and silent auction. I walked away with a very cool framed beach print among other things. My wallet is lighter, but I'm happy about it.

All the volunteers, especially Nathan, who spearheaded the event did wonderful work to bring it all together. The goal for our fist ever CF walk originally was $15K. CFF raised that to $20K a few weeks ago because we had met the goal. When it's all said and done more than $30K will have been donated to fund research to find a cure for this terrible disease.

Next year will be bigger and better!
