So, this past Sunday I went to Atlanta to go and do the Crohn's walk. Let me mention we got there about two hours early, which was slightly boring. Ethan, my boyfriend, and I spent the time taking pictures.
While I was at the walk (which was 2.5 miles long) I met with Randy and Spiff at the 106.7 van. It was a lot of fun and I got to take this picture with them.
My dad and I got some shirts and hats! We took this picture at the 106.7 van. The shirt I got was a bit big for me so I cut off our legs in this picture.
After a while we were able to go and turn in the money and my parents and Ethan were able to register. I raised around $547. I was able to get this awesome little pin and I was entered to win a gift card.
I also got this shirt, which is what you receive when you raise $100.
This hat is what you get when you raise $200.
Before the walk, the people that volunteers at Camp Oasis did the "Ice Cream and Cake" dance. You know the song that is in those Baskin Robbins commercials?
There was a band that played us into and out of the walk. They continued playing while we ate. They were a lot of fun. I think it would be fun to join this band.
Here we see Randy and Spiff walking. My dad is on the far left in the grey shirt. Spiff carried an umbrella the entire time so it would not rain.
After the walk, I was completely exhausted. This picture was taken in the Marta Station.
I bought this shirt from some people that were participating in the walk. In case you can't read it, it says, "I can't wait to find a cure for Crohn's."
Overall, we had a bunch of fun. There was a lot of money that was raised.
Look to find my new way of raising money for Crohn's. I will post it on here when I have it ready.
Did you go to the walk? Do you have pictures? Do you have some stories from the walk? Are you going in another state? Do you need some ideas on how to raise money? Email me at: crohnssucks65@gmail.com
The song title is "I'm Going For A Walk," not 'On.'
ReplyDeleteThat walk was a lot of fun, though. :)
