Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2008. That day, Mattie's school was honoring grandparents. Grandparents were invited to campus for a lovely brunch, a concert, and then to meet the teachers and tour the classrooms. I decided to volunteer that day, so I had the opportunity to participate. Thank goodness I did, because it was the only grandparents day our family got.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- number of people diagnosed with the virus: 1,012,517
- number of people who died from the virus: 58,355
It was another day where I wonder what on earth happened to the time. It is 11pm, and I am still working on the Mattie Miracle Walk. I really thought it would be easier this year since the Walk is virtual. But somehow I am finding it is anything but easy. I guess doing something for the first time is always hard and the trouble is always in the details. For more details about our Walk, go to
www.mmcfwalk.com. More specifics are below.
Here's How it Will Work This Year:
- There is no physical event. The Walk and raffle are virtual.
- Everyone registers as a virtual walker (individual or team).
- Registered participants will compete for top fundraising awards.
- You can sponsor, donate, and purchase raffle tickets on-line.
- Top four registered walkers with the most steps taken on May 17th will receive a prize.
