Arthritis Walk 2011...

*The girls just before the walk started!*

We had so much fun doing the Arthritis Walk this year! We can't wait for the Jingle Bell Run this winter and then the walk again next year. We made some new friends and Siobhan was able to meet some other kids who have JA as well. We met the little boy who was the honoree this year. He's and 11 year old boy named James Light. He goes to the same doctor as Siobhan and even has his black belt! As a team, we did 3 laps around Trolly Square and enjoyed the festivities which included raffles, visiting Bumble the Bee from the Salt Lake Bees, dancing to the live music and having yummy snacks.*With Bumble the Bee!*

To those who donated, thank you thank you thank you so much! We were able to reach my personal fundraising goal and because of that, Siobhan was able to get a t-shirt to remember the fun day we had! Audrey won a raffle prize which was super fun also! And special shout out to our friends the Harmon's who came out and walked with us! They are such awesome friends!!!!

It was a beautiful day with the sun shining but it wasn't too hot. Audrey actually walked the whole way which ended up being 3 laps of a 5 lap (5K) course. We were so proud of her! She just kept going and going and didn't get tired at all! She totally deserved that raffle prize!
