2008 Walk to Cure Diabetes

I have to comment on this picture. The police just went by and told everyone to move to the sidewalks, I guess Aunt Debbie didn't feel she needed to! haaaa

Michael's Crew participated in the Walk to Cure Diabetes held at the state capitol on Sunday, October 5th 2008. We kept our pirate theme from last year and man am I glad that we did! So many people came in all out pirate costumes. Harry and Carol, your family was amazing! Great job Carol on finding all the costumes, I think everyone loved the striped socks. It's so much fun to see people get into the pirate theme. I can't tell you how many comments were made to us regarding our team. All good!

Ranse and I were overwhelmed with emotions many times through out the day. To see 130-150 people there decked out in pirate attire and wearing shirts with Michael's picture on the front of them was unbelievable! Once again, we were very impressed with all of the support we are given. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and will continue to join us each year for such a great cause. We are still receiving donations and will post our total probably next week.

Thanks again for an absolute fabulous day. We truly are grateful for each and every person that has shown support to our family. Michael's Crew will continue to do it's part through fundraising and awareness to fight this disease. We pray each day that Michael will one day be diabetes free along with millions of others and you all should be proud of yourselves for all that you've done to help fund research and show support! YOU ROCK!!!
