Let's get moving together!

Hi All,

As many of you know, I lead a virtual and an in person support group in Raleigh NC. I'd really like to find some ways for us to have some activities that would allow us to socialize, get active and maybe even do something good for someone else at the same time. With this in mind, I'm looking into seeing if anyone might be interested in participating in local charitable walks. The ones that come to mind right now,

WalkLikeMadd in Raleigh March 09

Special Olympics in Raleigh or Chapel Hill/Spring 09

These are just two that I found in the area. Soooo... Would you be interested? Do you know of other walks that we might participate in?

Overall, what do you think?

I would be interested in participating in either event!! Walking for charity kills 2 birds with one stone :-) My daughters and are are forming a group to walk for MS in April. Anyone who would want to come to Fayetteville to walk message me for info!!

Gee... We think in the same circles ;-)

Let's talk about the walk you are going to participate in... I'm wondering about how many of these things we might be able to get going.

The MS walk is April 4th in Fayetteville. It's a 5 mile walk. We did it last year and had a great time. This year we decided to try and put together a team. So far we don't have anyone but myself and my 11 and 12 year old! But we just signed up a few days ago! Our team name is Families4ACure. There is no fee to walk but you take donations. Our goal is $1000 this year (last year we made it to $500)

I really want to do an extended walk this year. I think the breast cancer society has a 30 miles in 2 days or something that I want to look into!!!
