(I never got that chance when I did journalism or broadcasting.) Thanks again! And kudos to the Gale family and all of kids and adults who participated in the walk.Jennifer Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569308594720227530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700199312336157399.post-91295028504582227082010-10-10T07:06:37.338-07:002010-10-10T07:06:37.338-07:00Apparently while Jen was off at her writer's r...Apparently while Jen was off at her writer's retreat, she didn't get my final revisions. There are some facts that needed updated.<br /><br />When I wrote to Shelly to tell her about the opportunity I had been given to be part of Jennifer’s blog, she wrote back and told me: “I've added up the money for this year and we are just shy of $20,000!!!! Yes, that's right $20,000! Just for this year and over $46,000 since Michael was diagnosed. I was blown away with the total. Never in a million years did I think we could raise that much money in such a terrible economy. Guess it just goes to show that when you share your passion about something and it's for a worthy cause people's hearts will open and be willing to help those in need. We are truly blessed by everyone that supports us. This is a tough disease to deal with day in and day out and to arrive at the walk each year and see the swarms of people there for Michael, gives us that drive to work that much harder.”<br /><br />What a way to sum it all up, and goes to show that we, both young and old, can do great things if we just make the effort. The young adults in our communities are enthusiastic and ready to work for a cause. I think the future looks bright!Kristin Shaw Amrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582322262943706849noreply@blogger.com
