Here is some information for anyone that my be interested in cheering Beth and I on! I haven’t been on this walk before, but I can just imagine how emotional it would be to see some familiar face cheering for you. I am going to try and have Randy update the blog while I walk.

This is a HUGE Challenge for me. As most of you know, I was a quadriplegic in July 2006 until I started PT and Chemo. I am so blessed today that I am here AND I can walk. Keep looking for pictures to come next week. When I recover:)

Cheering Stations:

Cheering Stations are a great way to show your support along the route to encourage walkers and let them know that you are with them every step of the way. Seeing familiar faces cheering them on can provide that extra burst of energy that gets them to take that next step or go the next mile. Create banners, hold up signs, bring some music and make some noise – anything to make them smile, get energized and keep walking.
