Walk a thon!!

I recieved a phone call today from a sweet lady from St Jude asking if I would get together a walk a thon! I said absolutely without question yes! After talking to her I realized I am going to need some walkers and I thought what better people to ask than all my blogger buddies!!!!!!!

Most of the bloggers have children or are close to children and know how heart wrenching the stories from St Jude are. I typically donate a little to them every so often but I would love to be able with the help of friends to donate a lot!!!!! I know we are all busy and most just don't feel like we have time to devote but I couldn't turn it down. I have always wanted this kind of opportunity and I need all the help and advice I can get!!

Want to know what is super cool about it??

If you have a dog and want to walk with it go for it!!

Kids of all ages can be a part of this!!!

We can have bake sales, lemonade stands etc during the walk..

I was thinking it should be a 5K but I want it to be flexible to whatever the person wants to do!!!

If anyone is interested in being part of such a wonderful event let me know! If you know anyone that would be interested let them know!!

My email address is aliciajane81@gmail.com

The date I have tentatively marked is October 23rd!
