In the National Kidney Foundation Walk?  Our walk is May 3rd in TN  (I'm from AL but my whole family is from TN and my mom is a team captain).

Last year I helped my sister raise money to walk but I didn't officially participate.  I barely raised $100 so I was hesitant about participating this year.   However I've raised all but $35 of my $500 goal.  I told my Mom that I think people feel sorry for me this year, LOL, since I am on dialysis! Hee hee!  Surprisingly enough, I've recieved lots of donations from old classmates and friends from Facebook.  Lots of people give just $5 can add up quickly!  I'm geeked!!

Want to see my page?  There's a picture of my mom and my 3 sisters and I on that page - we're cutting up a little!

I can't make it to the walk, my mother in law lives in GA close enough. But we just can't afford to make it down there anytime soon.  But I did post your link on my facebook and myspace. So hopefully you get a little here and there.  I think its wonderful what your doing.  Thanks
