Now for a positive post! WE did awesome. It was a 5K walk and we did it in an hour on a beautiful Sunday Morning. We could not have asked for nicer weather. I wish we could have brought the kids, but Sam could not have done it with his bladder issues and I wanted to make sure Kailyn had one more day to recover so she could go to school today. Senator Susan Collins was there to speak and cut the red starting ribbon. After the walk we were treated to a picnic lunch of Hamburgers and Hotdogs. One of my walkers did not understand why there were signs for carbs and not prices ;) She eventually got it.
Our total raised for Team Kailyn was $1355.00. That is more than I could have dreamed of. I had no expectations when I started this and am absolutely thrilled with that amount. Thank you for all the Team Walkers that walked with us. Mom, Katie, Stephanie T, Stephanie R, Yvette, Trueman and Lori. Thanks to the walkers who raised money, but could not make it to the walk Jayme and Staci.
Also Thank you to all that donated to the walk, it means so much to Kailyn and our whole family.
