The MS Walk went great! and the donations continue to roll in - at the day of the walk, the team, the the Southern California Star Wars Alliance, was just over over $3,000 putting us as the 158th team by funds raised - and now we are over $3,100. and now with some day-of-race and day-after-race donations, I'm at $820!

The morning of the walk, we assembled at 7 in the morning in the parking lot of Legoland. Thinking it would be warm, I wore shorts. Nope. not warm. we all got registered, getting our walk numbers and shirts. some of our star wars alliance were costumed up as different troopers, and briekalan's kids were also in costume. and then the walk got started, and i took photos with Lesley's camera. and apparently Rachel kept taking photos of me.
The walk went from the parking lot up into the theme park, and around in one loop, which apparently wasn't long enough, so they continued the walk along Legoland drive all the way out to the roundabout. on the road out to the roundabout they had signs listing all the team names and how much they had raised.. we found our sign:
and then we walked all the way back down legoland drive to the parking lot. on the way, one of Lesley's girls started to tire out, and our new member Jessica helped carry her all the way back.
after the walk, we hung out among all the booths of stuff, helping ourselves to donated Papa John's pizza and chicken nuggets. and then since the sun wouldn't come out, i got cold again.. actually i think everyone got tired of being in a festive but not warm parking lot.
And more thanks are due to donors like hollywdliz (i didn't guilt you!), eliz, the trying-to-be-anonymous cyndisuesue, a friend from high school, and my wife's sister-in-law. Fighting MS is a team effort!
