Walk To Defeat ALS Fundraiser!

What a great day! The weather was beautiful, lots of walkers showed up in support, Team Betty was the top Family Team fundraiser and the walk itself brought in almost $23,000!!

My whole family was there, my brother and sister drove in from their schools and joined us for the day and we had an excellent bar-be-que lunch after at my cousin Danica's house!

I am so thankful to everyone who has supported me and donated to this cause that is so close to my heart. This year I am proud to say that with everyone's help, I was able to donate $1,865! I was also honored to be asked to speak before the walk and share my story of my Aunt Betty and my platform "Community Awareness of ALS" with everyone there.

My Aunt Betty, we miss and love you!
