Ben's Battelle team had tons of walkers that came. We had so many that we even got our own "team tent"! Woot! We got all kinds of free stuff, too. Ben scored 4 free t-shirts, and I even came home with 3! There were lots of diabetes-oriented vendors there, too, who were handing out tons of free (mostly useless and mostly gross-tasting) stuff too.
But, in the end the whole experience was really positive. We ended up raising over $300 bucks between the two of us. Ben's co-workers really ponied up the cash there at the end, it was amazing. It was great to go to an event like that and be around "my people," who all kind of understand what each other is going through.
Thanks so much to everyone who donated to this cause! We know everyone is pinching pennies these days, and that makes me even more touched by all the generous donations that everyone gave. So, here is a big fat thank you from me.
THANK YOU!
