This was home base for the 4 day weekend. We couldn't have asked for better weather...cool nights, warm days, and amazing colors on the trees! (Could've done without all the goose poop, but that kind of comes with the territory, I suppose.)
110 people came out and walked with and/or for us over the course of the 4 days. Many people walked several times! The support was awesome! Thank you to every one of you!!
People we didn't even know stopped by and dropped donations in the jar...even the man mowing the lawn gave a donation! It was great!! (More donations are still coming in...we'll post a total soon.)
Not sure I could pick one single highlight from the event...different things moved me at different times. But one thing that comes to mind right now is the young man (perhaps 10 years old?) who jumped out of a mini-van as we were packing up Monday evening. He came over towards us, said "Thank you for doing this" then turned and jumped back in the van and was gone. Marie and I were totally caught off guard by that small gesture. We'll probably never know what prompted it, but I do know that it's the little things like that that make me want to keep doing what we're doing!
