They walked, I rolled... all for the MDA

This weekend we celebrated life

We walked and we rolled

We raised awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association

The MDA provides research, medical care, support and most of all HOPE.

I was surrounded by my friends and family.

These girls are true friends.  We have been together since our first borns were babies.  We have been through more ups and downs together than most people go through in their entire lives.  Back in 2008 we walked in the breast cancer 3-day together and here we are 4 yeas later in the exact same location.

There was laughter and tears. 

On the way down to the walk I was thinking about how all of these great people were taking time out of their day to come down and walk with me.  It made me realize how important family and friends are to help you get through any situation.  Having something like your health taken away from you teaches you so much.  It teaches you what you do have and what you can do.  You quickly learn where your strengths and abilities are.  You learn your limitations and you learn to say no.  You learn to listen to your body and you learn to appreciate what you have instead of what you don't have.

We walked {rolled} 3.1 miles.

My dad and I took turns giving the little ones rides.  Grandpa provided a better view.

I am so grateful for each of these people that showed their support on Sunday.  

The total amount raised from the San Diego walk

 was $144,000!!!

Thank you to each and every one of you who were able to donate.  We couldn't do this without you.

Thank you North County Fire for your generous donations.

Thank you Mom for being one of the top fundraisers for our team.

Thank you to the walkers.

Thank you to the friends that have provided meals, house cleaning, phone calls, e-mails and most of all love.
