Amy G.....hold my check and if the walk doesn't go off, just forward it to OCF. Good luck with the job hunting.

Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 794 | Same here, Amy......However it gets to the OCF, it's fine with me. The walk, though, is more fun for everybody. I love the idea of you guys representing all of us as you walk. But you can't help it that your walk was canceled. Say a prayer for us, and donate it to OCF in whatever way you prefer.
Good luck with the changes in your life...

Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 77 | Amy, you make me laugh. Yup, I worry about the sanity of all of us die hard Minnesotans too. But I am doing fine. And the job thing, well, it's likely a blessing. At least that's what I am telling myself. I have a couple of opportunities on the line, and one of them doesn't start until the end of July. It that one works out, I'll have a couple of months off of work to spend with my kiddos and raise a little money for the OCF. I am a firm believer that when God closes a door, he opens a window. I think losing my job might be the best thing to happen to me in a while.
God bless.

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Hi Amy in Minnesota - I just read your post about the Chicago walk for June being postponed until September. I would love to participate and I think my daughter might go, too. I went to the url that Jerry posted above but didn't see anything about the Chicago walk. We lived in Chicago for 20 years before coming to Tennessee and it would be great to get back there and do something for OCF. If anything further develops I would love to hear about it whenever you get a chance. Thanks!

I haven't heard any further details about the walk in September, but I am still hoping to participate. I have to get the updates from here too, but maybe Brian could add something if there are any details at this time.
And I would really love to meet you, so I hope it goes off and we can both be there.
