We Took the Walk!! [Baltimore, MD 10.15.08]

Yesterday, I went down to Baltimore with Allyson, her husband Isaac, and their grandmother for Hanson's 90th walk.

I believe it was my 5th walk, however I could be wrong. I plan on figuring that out soon. ;)

Between me having a hurt ankle, Isaac having a hurt/recovering foot and Gram, we were behind the walk for most of the duration, but we didn't mind. We all took our shoes off, even Gram! At one point, Allyson sent me ahead because we were so far behind that we were losing sight of the other walkers. I kept up with the walk and thanks to Allyson sending me ahead, I was able to achieve one of my goals that I had set for the day- to tell a member of Hanson about this site.

It was thanks to my wrapped ankle that Isaac Hanson even approached me. The coversation started about how I injured my ankle (hurt at work) but then quickly jumped to Hanson's causes when Isaac thanked us for coming after I told him we were not going to the show- we were only there to walk. From there, I mentioned the site which led to a pretty long conversation about it, our intentions and plans, and our inspiration.

It was a wonderful walk. The best one I've attended yet. I couldn't wait to mark down "Donate education" on my card at the end of it. Every step was worth it.

I'll post pictures later.
