Angel Walk Again!

For the second year I will be taking part in Denver's Angel Adventure Walk benefiting the National Brain Tumor Foundation. This year I am pairing up with a friend who lost her Mother to brain cancer and we will be walking with the team name We Believe in Angels. Check out our fund raising page to learn a bit more about our story, and to help support our cause!

Last year this walk was a great bonding experience. I walked with family and we talked and talked. It was quite therapeutic. This year those family members have other obligations and won't be able to make it, but my daughter will be coming along! She had a very special relationship with Aunt Leigh. I think it will be a good time to have some Mother-Daughter bonding. After all, she is going to be a big 5th grader next year!

I'm looking forward to another walk, another talk, and another successful fund raising effort. Thanks to all who have supported this cause, and I hope you will continue to do so.
