Title: WALK TO HONOR STROKE SURVIVORS
Post by cass/kate on Aug 26^th, 2009 at 12:42pm

Hi MM Friends -

On September 12, I will be walking a 3mile walk in Dallas, sponsored by the American Heart Association, to honor stroke survivors. Of course I am walking for Kate, as well as MM stroke survivors. I am excited. It will still be hot as you-know-what, so think cool thoughts for me.

Hugs, [smiley=hug.gif]

WTG Cass!! I’m so proud of you, and what a great cause. You’re an inspiration. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I sure hope you get cooler weather though, I heard it’s been brutal there. Drink plenty of fluids, and take care of you! We'll be with ya in spirit, rooting you on.[smiley=hug.gif]

Yeah, Cass! I'll be literally striding along with you on the 12th. I'm walking the Aflac Iron Woman 5K in Seattle on that same day. Should be much, much cooler here. Wear a hat with lots of ventilation holes and strap on one of those fanny packs that hold a water bottle. Is the entire event being sponsored by the American Heart Association? What a great opportunity to get the word out about the association between stroke and Moyamoya. Take some pictures.

Hi there all my MM friends

I am sorry to report that I did not make the Walk for Stoke Survivors after all. My aunt that I lived with while I worked and went to the U of U died suddenly (one week before Kate and I were scheduled to fly to SLC to see her) and I had to change my plans and fly out for her funeral. Very sad, but she had had a wonderful life - nearly 90 years.

My friend Pat, however, carried on for both of us and included Kate and MM stroke survivors on her shirt. Hopefully, I will be ready for the next one.

How did your walk turn out, Kim?

Love and Hugs,

Cass [smiley=cowboy.gif]

Hi Cass,
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope when my time comes that my family and friends will say that I led a good life, that is the best memorial.
I too missed my Sept 12th Aflac Iron Girl walk. My son, David was off on a cruise to Alaska which left me alone with the business. I'd planned to close the shop and do the walk, but the local Inn ran out of soap and I had to wrap bars that morning. I have a half marathon scheduled for mid October than the Seattle Marathon Nov 29th. I'm still planning to do both, provided I get the OK tomorrow from the podiatrist. I may have a stress fracture on my left heel. :(
