2 days to go--!

I have tried to flip this picture around but I can not for some reason so... just turn your head!!

The final countdown for the Milestones walk is on!!! 2 more days to go and I am pleased to say that the Go Grier Go team has grown to 135 people & we are still counting! We also have raised a huge amount of money for Pediatric Cancer Research!! As a group our total is almost $14,000!! I am so excited to say that right now... our Charlotte Milestones walk has raised $71,000!!! The best part is we will not know the final amount until Saturday because people will be bringing money with them !!! That is an amazing accomplishment for our community!! WAY TO GO -- GO GRIER GO & all the other 40 teams that are signed up for Saturday!
And Thanks to our newest sponsor-- Cox-Schepp for sponsoring the walk!!!!

I took this picture of Grier today while I was trying to write names of the children that are being honored at the walk-- He was making me laugh because he thought we should play twister on the banner!! And he was noticing first names that he could read -- kids that had the same names in his class!

Tomorrow will be quite a long day but I am going to be patient! I already did the pre-screening in the car while waiting for Grier at carpool so we are all set to get this port out tomorrow at 9:30! Grier has asked a ton of questions-- so many more than he would have asked a year ago-- and my simple answers are not as good as they once used to be!! He knows he is getting his port out and I tried to tell him-- Hey Grier, you get the white medicine-- and it did not seem to impress him as it has in the past-- He will not be happy that he can not "push it himself" and he is going to be really mad when he finds out that he has to wear a Gown!! So... since my simple answers do not work I have decided that bribing might and so far I think it will work!! We will be going to Target to the toy aisle!!! It will be worth the matchbox car he picks out!

IF you are planning to walk with us on Saturday-- please try to be there by 9am-- I would suggest parking on the Princeton Ave. side of the park or at Whittington Baseball field-- all activities will be at the Amphitheater -- Remember to wear a GGG shirt if you would like too-- If you have any $$ to turn in I will have an envelope for each of you!! And if you raised at least $46, $100, or $250 you will get a prize-- I will have a totals as of Friday at 5pm--- You will need to see me for a prize "ticket"
This day is RAIN or SHINE!
I will try to find a spot where we can all meet as a team-- just look for the GGG crowd!

See you Saturday if you plan to come or THANK YOU for support this cause!
