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, 

Cass 

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 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.
