Walk a Huge Success

Well it's been almost a week since the walk and concert, the dust has settled and we just got our final tally today which stands at $13 163.49. Because this was the first walk we have organized, we really had no idea how it would go but, needless to say, this far exceeded any expectations we may have had. A great deal of the credit and a huge thank you goes out to our members, especially Angela Lavis and Stephanie Doyle and their families who came on board part way through the process. Their enthusiasm and energy made all the difference.

On a not so happy note, I just received word this evening that my brother, who also has scleroderma, died today. A timely and poignant reminder that we need a cure for this disease.
