Here is the update. ..

I survived the 5 km walk, and I met many of the volunteers. One of the guys that I met on the walk (Lawrence) is friends with the volunteers. Krista-Lee organized the volunteers.

In the non-race, the competitive person in me came in first!!! There were BBQ burgers and hot dogs waiting for us when we got back to the picnic site. I did not think to get a picture of Krista-Lee's aunt who was BBQing for us, or her Dad (who I tried to knock over because he told us to go around him at the turnaround point of the 5 km course!!!).

On Saturday, I had raised $2125 of my upgraded goal of $3000, which is 71% of my goal. I found out that I have until the end of September to collect donations, so this gives me more time to connect with more people!!! 😎😎😎. The individual and team prizes will be announced in October.

I still have not contributed myself yet, but I will be making a contribution of 10% of whatever funds are raised.

My goal is to be in the top 3 for individual and team fundraising for Alberta. With a friend's help, I created Team Journeys with God.

People who know me will not be surprised that I have three t-shirts from the SuperWalk. A red one for participating, and two turquoise blue shirts that two volunteers (Peter and Kevin) gave me. One is a large, and the other is an extra-large. Kevin suggested that I could wear the extra-large one as a dress. . . I think I will give it to my Dad instead. 😎😎😎

I will post pictures at a later date.

As donations have continued to come in, I am currently at $2535, which is 85% of my goal, and counting. ..
