Fourth Year of March for Babies

Saturday, April 25th: We walked our fourth March for Babies. We were able to walk the 6 miles in 2.5 hours, and were surrounded by some good friends. Amber and her family joined us, as well as my mother in law and my good friend Sandra. The 'usual gang' (the Quades) had some health issues this year and were physically unable to walk with us. We missed them so much!!!!
Bodie was sick, but he had stopped throwing up the day before, so we decided to take him with us. He did great, except near the end of the walk, he was done. So we headed home right after finishing. We couldn't believe the number of people and tents this year. It seems like the walk gets bigger every year, and more and more people are affected by prematurity and birth defects. We all are lucky that the March of Dimes exists! I am looking forward to November when the "Best of Sacramento" auction and night out come to town. I have missed it the last couple of years, but I want to go this year. I am determined!!!! So anyone who wants to go...let me know! All the proceeds go to the March Of Dimes, and it is a great way to taste some great food, drink some great wine, and listen to some great music, along with some other great things!

We, as a team, this year raised over $300...in this economy, not too bad! It was a great day to remember our little boy and honor him!
As a side note, this is the second year that we also walked for Trevor Kott...a great little boy who lost his fight to cancer. He actually passed away on April 25th, 2007, so we had him in our thoughts that day as well!!!
