Walk America - I Did It!!!

I decided to put some pictures up to prove to those of you who so generously donated to this cause...I really did walk the walk!!! For those of you who know me well...you know that I'm not the most athletic of the bunch...however, when it comes to my girls, I can quickly become Athlete of the Year if necessary!!!

Although, I have to say that this morning when my alarm went off at 5:30am I almost issued you all refunds and hit my snooze button!!! Even though I'm usually up at 6:00 with the girls...you other moms totally know how valuable an extra 1/2 hour of sleep (or 5 minutes) can be!!!! Anyways...I wanted to prove all of those people who didn't think I could actually walk 5.5 miles (And you know who you are!) that I could in fact do it!!!

So here's the proof:

The Official Start/Finish Line

Thanks to all you who so generously donated, I raised $760 dollars, and therefore got to stand in the line titled:

Those ribbons have Hailey's name written on them!


Team Hailey:
Anne, My Mom, Me & Christine

Can't forget to stretch!
(Check out that form.)

This one's for you Hailey!
I Love You...
(or I wouldn't be walking 5.5 freaking miles!)


Tom Bergeron
(For those of you who like Dancing with the Stars!)

Lauren Holly
(For everyone else!)

Just kidding...

Whoo...Hooo...
I DID IT!!!
1 hour 45 minutes

In all seriousness, I truly cannot say enough thank you's to those of you who donated to this cause! Although all of Hailey's problems weren't caused by her 2 months prematurity, it also didn't help the situation. This was something that meant a lot to me and I thank you for supporting me in it.

(A special thanks to Christine for getting up at 5am to come with me! She cheered me on all the way...just as she's done for the past 17 years that we've been the best of friends!! You're the best. I love you!)
