My sister and I (with her husband and sons) Walk(ed) to End Alzheimer’s this past weekend. The Thousand Oaks, California walk raised over $105,000, and thanks to some very generous and caring family, friends, and readers of this blog, I was responsible for about 1% of that total.
I’ve sent individual thanks to everyone who donated to the Alzheimer’s Association through my Participant page, and I appreciate every dollar that they gave. But there are some people whose generosity went above and beyond, and I think they deserve special mention for their support…and even if they’d rather not be mentioned, I’m doing it anyway, because it’s my blog and I can. I hope you’ll join me in expressing my appreciation for:
my mother-in-law, Peggy
Jessica Gottlieb, and the ladies of Moms LA who rose to her personal challenge: Donna, Marsha, Sarah, Ciaran, Eva, Jeanne, Natalie, Lori, Adrienne, Jeannine, Becky, Amy, Yolanda, Deborah, and Shannon
Joy, whose donation pushed me just a little ways over my fundraising goal

| The Walk began and ended on the lovely campus of California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks |

| Walk participants were given flowers on which to write the names of those they were honoring by walking. Organizers and volunteers planted them in a garden that greeted us when we returned to campus. |
