    Woodsy walking to fight brain tumors....

    If the title gave you the wrong impression, sorry, but use that feeling to give.

    if you said "sweet" just tag at the bottom.

    My good friend Jeff died of his second bout with brain tumours last year. Some of you may have known him from Alta, some of you let me stay at your house for his funeral.
    His pick is on the site, all smiles on a powder day

    his wife did this walk in DC and I am doing it Sunday here, which happens to be my birthday
    Have A Chance Walk To Fight Brain Tumors
    donate here
    http://www.active.com/donate/HaveAChanceWalk/mdavis28



    I would appreciate any support you can give.

    Quoth the Rev: Cancer Sucks.

    Info for where the money goes:


    Since the first Have A Chance Walk in 2006, 4,000 people have stepped forward and raised more than $1.8 million. Those dollars have helped Have A Chance and the Brain Tumor Society fund research and treatment programs and help families who are battling brain tumors with comfort, advice and financial assistance.

    These downloadable files show how our beneficiaries have used the funds raised by the Have A Chance Walk.

    Woodsy, how did this go? good turnout? Get tazered or anything?

    Congratulations for a job well done on your birthday. I have to imagine this was one of the more satisfying ways to spend the day.

    Thank you all so much.
    I raised more than $2K!
    my original goal was 1,000.
    I raised it to $1500 and smashed that, in less than 2 weeeks!

    if a few more of you want to contribute, feel free.

    my friend Jeff and my aunt gretchen were important people to me and both went before their time because of Brain tumors.
