The Walk this Year is June 14

This is the third year I have walked in this walk and helped to organize it.

This year the committee was looking to create a finish line experience.

I hope this blog will become an easy page to find for participants of the walk to find finish line photos to view and to down load as keepsakes if they wish.

It is my hope to have general photos of walk day posted here too.

The photos that I have to post here to experiment with are from walk day 2006. They are mostly shots of my brother, sister-in-law and nephew.

I can hardly believe its been over 3 years since my Mom was taken by this horrible disease. My Mom , Edna Hansen, was a great person for many reasons one of which was her love of lending a helping hand when ever she was able. I would like to call our team the "helping Hansens", but I am not the only one who gets an opinion about that.

My family walks to remember her and to help raise the funding needed to help those who are struck by Lou Gehrig's Disease and to research its cause.

Its seems fitting that the day before Mother's Day I am learning about something new which is a quality I believe I got from my Mom. She had a natural curiosity about life and things in general. She also embraced the new even if it meant doing away with the old.


Here's hoping those who this site is meant for will find it.
