Sadly, in the last 2 years, 4 friends of ours lost their fight with childhood cancer: Lily Doyle, age 2yrs. - A.M. Leukemia, Marisa Gallegos age 16 yrs. - A.M. Leukemia, Benjamin Rohen-Trapp, age 3yrs. - Medulablastoma, & Cheyenne Franks, age 5yrs. - A.L. Leukemia.
We will walk this year in their memory.

With the donations from those of you who attended our 2007 event, and many all over the world that could not, we raised a total of $1,100 to give to our chosen charities.
It was a terrific way to continue our fund raising efforts! We learned a few ways we could improve, but overall we think it was a huge success! Ilaria had a lot of fun on the day at her “lemonade party”. Though she didn’t really grasp what the day was all about, we know she could sense the good energy that was flowing.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, we’d love to hear them at walknlemonade@gmail.com.
