Le's go Walk Like MADD in Raleigh March 28, 2009

Many of you have expressed interest in getting involved in 'active' activities and we have discussed participating in charitable walks.

Here's the first of what I hope will be many walks for our group.

Walk Like MADD is a 5K (3.1 mile) walk that will loop around and through the NC State centennial Campus. While you may be up to walking the full circuit, please consider going even if you can't. You can just do a partial circuit if you would like to or even just come and support your team mates. There will be some entertainment available and they will have some 'golf carts' that pick you up and take you back to the starting point if you 'get stuck' and find that you can't continue the walk.

The name of our team for the Raleigh Walk Like MADD event is 'NC WLS.'

This is a fund-raising event for MADD. I'm personally acutely aware of the tight times, so I've set a fund very modest fund-raising goal for our team of $500.00. If we make or exceed that goal, wonderful, if we don't that will be okay too. The focus of this event for us, is to get active and help others as we help ourselves.

I will provide details about exactly where to meet and what we will wear to identify ourselves as we get closer to the event. I look forward to your participation.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to PM me or post a note on the message board.

Get your walking shoes on and let's go Walk Like MADD!
