What a WONDERFUL WALK

What a beautiful day for a walk! The turnout was amazing! Family, friends, and friends and family of family and friends!! (Yes - I DO think that is a sentence if you read it carefully!) We had just a wonderful time!

This walk is indeed more of a stroll than a walk. That gives for the most amazing opportunity to just be with and visit with those that we know and love.

THANKS - THANKS - THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

To all of you who supported us in so many ways!!! Your thoughts, prayers, support by walking, working on all of the many projects, your generous financial support, - oh my gosh the list is endless in the THANKS that we would like to offer you.

We are already full of ideas and excited about next year!!! YEP! Next year!!!

But first - we are going to take a break for the holidays!

Next year we hope to have a few FUNdraisers - and who better than the Baranowsky's to put the FUN in FUNdraiser?!?!?!

We are looking forward to a STAMP out MS - paper crafting event, a dinner/silent auction, more support from corporate sponsors, and the yard sale!

We will get an update to you on the money we raised as soon as all of it is updated and tallied. People were donating right up to the last minute!

BLESSED WE ARE INDEED!!!!!!

WE GOT A TENT!!!

YEAH US!!!
Our team
Christy's Mission Squad
won a tent for the walk!

We are thrilled about this because it will make our day SO much easier!!!!

THIS SATURDAY IS THE BIG DAY!!!!

Registration Starts at 6:30 AM
Walk begins promptly at 8:00
Please try to be there by 7:15!!!!
That will give us enough time to check in and get a

GROUP PICTURE!!!!

(This is a treasure that Christy did not get last year.
We REALLY want to make sure that we have one for her this year!!!!!!)

If you are walking with us, the start/finish line is located at SRP's headquarter parking lot at:
1600 N. Priest Dr.
Tempe, AZ 85281

Free parking is available across from the start/finish line at the Phoenix Municipal Stadium Parking Lot.

Directions to Phoenix Municipal Stadium Parking Lot:
Loop 202 to Priest Drive; north on Priest to Project Drive (1 block south of Van Buren Street); go west on Project Drive to parking lot.

When you arrive at the parking lot, it will be really easy to see where to go. (It really is simple - a "no brainer" - we were sort of all freaked out about it last year...really - super easy!)

Once you enter the area where the walk is, because we have a TENT, (yeah us!) there will be a special place for our team to check in back by the tents. Our Christy's Mission Squad banner will be on our tent.


If you have any trouble locating us, please just call Deanna at 480-221-8794, or Christy at 480-203-3809. We are usually not a very difficult group of people to find. :)

Be sure to wear your shirt if you already have one. If not, we will be handing them out as soon as you get there. If you did not get a shirt ordered, please try to wear PINK!

We are SO excited to be walking with you this year.

Thanks for joining us!!!
