The Diabetes Walk



Well much to our dismay the weather didn't cooperate for the walk. The day started off cold and got worse from there. We were rained on first, then it seemed as though it was going to clear up, when it suddenly started pouring rain and turned to snow. We all still walked and had a great time and used each others body heat to stay warm. Marisa came and took all the team photos for the walk. She was awesome to stay as long as she did and freeze like the rest of us. The pictures she took were greatly appreciated and she did a great job, especially with the weather conditions. The worst part of the whole thing was that the next day the weather was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't believe that it had snowed the day before and then turned around and was beautiful on Sunday. It was really quiet depressing, but despite the weather for the walk we still had a great turn out. We had over 817 walkers participate, and raised over $100,000 for research and advocacy. Way to go everyone!!!!! Thanks for everyones love and support and all who walked with us it was a memorable day.
