The weather was beautiful New York, as well as Philly. There was a fantastic turnout and there were lime green T-shirts all around town. I was the only OCF member there as Brian was unable to make the trip this weekend as planned. Since Brian wasn't there, I was asked to say a few words during the opening ceremonies.
The walk was 4.3 miles and I thought I was in better shape. I sure am sore right about now.
I brought the photos of OCF members that I have collected over the 4 years that this walk has been in existence and carrying these pictures with me, as well walking with my family, makes these walks very special for me.
Chuck I'm so glad that you made it to Philly and I wish there was some way I could be in 2 places at once. I've tried many times and it just never seems to work for me.
I want to thank those who sponsored me as well as those that wished me good luck.
With the economy the way it is, I'm not surprised that I was only able to raise about half of what I did last year. But, every little bit helps and OCF can surely use the donations.
