We have had this day on our mind for a long time, and I have been so afraid that something would go wrong and we wouldn’t be able to make the event. The weather was beautiful and the boys did a really good job!
We tried to give them as much running-around time as possible before the walk started. Trevor was all ready with his cool shades
He met Belle
He gave Tinkerbell a hug
But he left Spiderman hanging! He wouldn’t give him a high five at all.
The event started at a school, Trevor wanted to go in to the classrooms. I guess he wants to go to school!
Gramma took Brendan walking all around too
Gramma’s got two heavy boys!
Brendan’s whole awesome nursing team came out for the event!
We were happy to have our cousins Bob and Marian come to join us too with their little dog Gizmo, but we didn’t get a good picture of them! Gramma and Marian had to share and compare Gizmo pictures (they both have little dogs named Gizmo!)
Ready to walk, Brendan is suspicious. He kept signing “more” because he wanted to get down and walk more with Gramma.
The rare shot of all four of us together!
It was a really great walk, the route was pretty!
We got lots of compliments on our team shirts!
For completing the whole course, the boys each received a HopeWalk medal. I can’t say that they were expecially impressed
They got their medals from some players from the Arizona Rattlers (arena football)
Brendan looks pretty perky for someone who just walked 3 miles
Better than the medal to Trevor, a celebratory frozen coke
Now Brendan is tired
He gives Gramma good night kisses before his nap
Trevor devoured some peanut butter and apple slices and made a giant mess for lunch and then slept several hours.
The HopeWalk had a great turnout and the organization raised over $40,000 total. We were excited to be a part of it!
