I think I'll go for a walk outside now

Sunday~September 20, 2009

I love a whole lot of things, but one of my favorites is when friends and strangers alike come together for the love of the same thing, for something they care about, to help.

So yesterday was a good day, walking around Lake Calhoun with stranger/friends "for the love of Liz," and to raise money for the foundation that was born in her honor.

The lovely crew I had the pleasure of walking with

When I wrote the post about doing this walk and why, so many of you took the time to donate what you could to this cause or to leave a comment to reach my $100 goal. Thank you just isn't enough, really. But thank you. Your kindness spread all around Lake Calhoun yesterday, and it was an honor to be a part of that. The best part is that it will continue to spread.

And also, Susan and I got to talk blogging and life all the way around the lake.

I always look confused in photos.
You'd think I'd know what's about to happen with a camera by now, but apparently I don't.

I absolutely love Matt's blog, the way he writes about his love for the wife he lost and the daughter he spends his days with is just plain beautiful. To learn more about what Matt and Maddy are up to, and how to help families who are grieving an unspeakable loss, you can check out the latest post on Matt's blog here. There are links to the latest interviews with Matt in which he talks about their very exciting upcoming adventures, and all the work the Liz Logelin foundation is doing.

P.S. Surprisingly, I did not trip or make much of a fool of myself at all. (That I know of.) BUT, I will admit that my legs did feel like rubber after walking only 3.2 miles. Seriously, Heather. Get in shape.

The End.
