I need a thesaurus...everything is AMAZING and AWESOME!

    One day as I was riding in the car with my mom in 2010 a radio commercial came on for March for Dimes, March for Babies. They have walks all over the country to help raise money for premature babies. They want to prevent babies being born too early but they also use the money to help babies that were already born premature. The walks are 5 miles long and they have a shorter path you could choose to take if you'd like.
    So my mom and I decided to make a family team. I was the team captain of "Heaven Spelled Backwards". I named it after a little girl I knew that was just born premature. We ordered t-shirts and raised money. The time came for the walk at Buck Creek State Park and my team had raised a good amount and I had 4 walkers on my team. This whole experience was just so amazing.

 

    In 2011, that time came around again and since I was the team captain I started getting phone calls and emails asking if my team would be participating again! So I was very proud that my little team of 4 last year was wanted back again and on the call list for coin banks, posters, and other things to promote our team. I rallied my team together. This time we raised more money, had 4 core walkers and couple others who wanted to walk but then at the last minute weren't able to. We ordered t-shirts and once again walked the 5 miles at Buck Creek. The whole process is so heart warming, just knowing you are helping out something much bigger than yourself.

    Then 2012 came around and I got those same phone calls and emails but I was living and working in Florida so I had to sadly decline.

    So imagine my excitement when I got the emails, letters, and phone call this year! So everyone! "Heaven Spelled Backwards" is back in the running (walking)!!!! But with my busy schedule lately, I am super late in getting my team together and money raised! This is the 75th Anniversary for the March for Babies and the Buck Creek 5 mile walk is on May 11, 2013. Check in is at 8am and the walk starts at 9am. This year for t-shirts I have waited too long to collect money and order them so I am going to get a tally of people that are for sure walking and I will get white shirts and purple paint and create some kind of cool design on them. They will be $7 and whatever extra I make on them will be donated right back to the team.

    I need your help family&friends near and far! If you live in or around Springfield please join my team and help us raise money for the walk in May. If you live far please donate to my team! It's a great cause and just a dollar or two...or five will help so much! Fill your heart with kindness and either join my team, donate to MOD, or both! Thank you so much!

    Participate in a "good cause". Most people say they've always wanted to do something like this but never seek it out. I was blessed for it to be on the radio and then I searched the information I needed and now it is still filling my heart 3 years later!

 

 

Stay happy!

Go on an adventure!

 

P.S. "I can only Imagine" -Mercy Me just came on my Spotify radio full of mixed genres. Boy oh Boy is my Grandma looking down at me right now smiling. =] I think of her every single time I hear this song. <3
