Step out!
Well, we did just that...
...stepped out...
...did our part to make some sort of difference...
...raising money [as well as walking early in the morning] to help others...those who need our help.
Go us! Go Team Scotty!
Yesterday the WALK TO STOP DIABETES took place at Huizenga Park in Fort Lauderdale...bright and early at 8 o'clock...under a cloudless sky!
Tons of people came out to support the cause...341 teams...2,075 walkers, according to the Step Out Walk for Diabetes website. Even though the event raised a colossal $276,306, the event was a bit shy of reaching its goal of $364,000 this year. Donations are still available through the Step Out website...and through the American Diabetes Association website.
[This year's goal: $364,000.00 | Raised $276,306.63]
Even though the event did not reach its goal, Team Scotty did. By nine o'clock yesterday morning, Team Scotty had raised an amazing $1,208. Yeehaw! Quite an accomplishment for us since our official announcement for joining in this year was only two weeks ago. Two weeks.
In two mere weeks, we raised all that money!
Wow! Our goal was small, something reachable...a mere $200. The goal bar was kept pretty low considering time was our enemy this year. And, sure enough, we shattered it!
By the end of the walk, donations were still coming in...pushing the grand total of our goal even higher...to an amazing $1,080. Wow...continued!
Big thanks go to Lynn Wilson, Michelle Wilson, Jon and Linda Wilson, Jen Partridge, Cheryl Barrios, and Raphael and his father [sorry, don't know their last names. I guess if I was any good at blogging I would research it]...for getting up early, coming out and supporting Team Scotty in person.
Also, huge thank you's go out to all of you who donated your generous gifts to Team Scotty...for helping us meet our goal...for helping us get one step closer to finding a cure for diabetes.
