Walk for Lupus

It was a perfect day for a walk: the ocean scene was set, the sun was hidden, and the early morning chill lingered. The Slowly but Surely Team was ready. In one week's time, we had raised over $1,000! The only thing left was to conquer the 5K walk and finalize our commitment.

We were given a choice between a 1 mile route and a 3 mile route, we chose the latter. We were warned of inclines, we did not even notice. When we crossed the finish line, we thought "that was it?" A relatively easy walk for all three humans on the team; our canine mascot had the most challenge, slowly but surely edging his way up the last hill. Java did not stop or complain one bit, he was all smiles and determined to finish in support of all lupus patients.

After the walk, Tito Buddy treated us all to a congratulatory lunch - Greek food on 2nd street.

It was a very good day.

Congratulations! On everything, the walk and the funds. Wow, over $1000 that's fantastic. It sounded like a wonderful time.
