One of the speakers was an actor from the show Hero's. His sons were with him, they have Epilepsy, so he's a big advocate for it. I've never seen the show myself, but others their were very excited and got pictures with him. There were also several NFL players who spoke who have Epilepsy as well... again, I didn't know them from Adam, but most people there were yelling with excitement to see them. Here's a photo of the actor...
It was overcast and had rained the whole night before, so it was WET everywhere. This was the first year we didn't have the kids. In prior years we take the kids, and the parents and in laws, and we all walk together. But this year the kids stayed with my in laws so we could just do the walk by ourselves. It was very enjoyable!!! I know the kids would have been miserable because it was cold and wet, we would have ended up carrying one or both of them!
Afterwards, we met the kids and the in laws at Cheesecake Factory for lunch! Then we all went home adn slept for 3 hours!

That sounds fun. How do they raise the money? Is it a donation people make? Looks like fun, especially by yourselves!
You can either do a fundraiser type thing or do what we did which was to just pay for ourselves to walk. It was about 70 dollars I think. But they take donations and do fundraising as well.
Go guys! Whoo-hoo!
