Today was the annual walk to raise money to find a cure for M.S. My daughter's friend, Sarah, led a team and made it her goal to raise $5,000 to contribute to this very important organization. I think she achieved her goal, with the help of family and friends.
It took a ton of volunteers to organize this event and I would have to say it was a great success!
There were stations set up along the bike path with snacks and drinks to encourage the walkers to finish. Lunch was provided after the walk and there was music for entertainment.
Above is a photo of my grandsons and my daughter after a long walk. Have you ever tried to get three tired kids to smile at the same time? L.O.L.Even I took a break and sat down for a while, with a green tea, after the nice long walk. I have to say, we had a gorgeous, sunny, California day for the event. A big thanks to Sarah for inviting us to be part of her team. It was an honor.

I think it's wonderful that you participated. Our youngest son was diagnosed with a particularly nasty version of MS. Only 29...We are having a walk in April in Green Bay, WI.
Glad you got your print, and thanks for blogging about it.
You are sweet and I'm glad to know you.
Blessings,
Pam

PS Those Eiffel Tower cookies are too cute!
What an awesome way to raise money for MS!
There is something about seeing you in those dark glasses and hat that reminds me of your mom. And Franklin sure does look like your dad. Once you pointed it out I can totally see it!
What a wonderful cause! I have two friends with MS and they usually have a team in the local MS walk! Congratulations on the money raised!

So wonderful that you were involved in such a fantastic event. My dad died of a disease similar to MS so it is great to see people working for this cause.
PS love your Eiffel Tower cookies
