Good job.  I hope they use the money well.  How many miles or whatever did you walk?

Great to hear about the funds raised.  I am wondering how can I find out about walks in my area (San Francisco Bay Area)?  Any thoughts on where I can look?

Thank you so much, Stuman!   :cuddle;   

Oh gosh, I'm not sure for the U.S.  I live in Canada, so I'm not sure what would be going on in the U.S.    ???

That is awesome, Cordelia! My husband, me & Timo (the dog) are participating in the Gift of Life Walk in Urbana-Champaign, IL on October 22. Our goal is $150.00 and we have raised $50.00 so far. We had a great time last year.

Stuman: Here is a link to the National Kidney Foundation site:
