vision walk 5K

on Sunday we were asked to participate in the vision walk for Walmart.  they were sponsoring the event, and since i was a previous employee, Starla asked if i wanted to be a walker.  i immediately said yes and had Mark join in on the fun.

the walk was down in Milwaukee at the Veteran's park, right by Lake Michigan.  we were able to bring the dogs with, so we brought the crazy ones, Stella and Marley.

we met down there around 9am, and the walk started at 10am.  they had tons of activities and tables and food!  it was a bit breezy when we got down there, but by the time the walk started it was BEAUTIFUL out.

walking is easy for me, so the walk was a breeze.  it made it much better that is was about 65 so the weather was perfect, not too hot or too cold.  it was fun catching up with friends on the walk.

walmart donated $100 per associate that attended the walk.  they surpassed their goal of $1,000!  next year, they are going to try to get even more people to participate!!

they announced that the walk had raised close to $80,000!!  yay!

we are looking forward to participating next year  :)
