Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Thanks, Christine - I do have that link but it doesn't give info on length of walks, altho' it does say more info coming so maybe I just need to wait for that. My daughter had the question on the length probably because we will make it a one day trip and the friend that is coming with us may need to work overnite and get back same day. They are both police lieutenants and also run 1/2 marathons several times a year. It's about time they do a walk for OCF! Jeanna Richelson is the Chattanooga coordinator but there is no email for her.
Eric - Now you have me very curious -What's this about a backstory? You can make something up if you like and I'm sure it will be entertaining!

Joined: Jun 2008 Posts: 475 | Hi Ann-Marie, sorry I missed this emal. AS Christine said, all walks are different. My walk is 4 miles and I believe Jeanna's is 2-3 miles. But I can check on that and let you know. Or if you want to email her, her email is [email protected]So glad you are attending her walk, it will be great! If you need anything else, please let me know! Susan

After the last week or so this has become an impossibility for me. I doubt I could even complete the walk at this point physically anyway. It saddens me deeply as I was looking forward to meeting so many of my heros on these boards.
Next year or maybe another walk later this year may be possible.
Love you guys
