The BIG Day

Well today was the Big Autism Walk at Lowes Motor Speedway here in Concord NC. It was an awesome experience !!!! There were TONS of people there all walking to support Autism Research. I walked all three laps (just under 4 miles.) It was great having Dee and Bailey there cheering me on. The view from the track was great, I can't even imagine what it is like to watch a race there. It was a bit warm for 10am in October, it was right around 80 degrees, and it was overcast and very humid, so I was sweating like crazy !!

There was a total of 4,500 walkers and they raised over $330,000. Thank all of you who have supported me, and sponsored my walk. It was a great exercise goal, and kept me motivated through out the Summer. I am going to try and do a 5k run/walk at the Charlotte Airport in November.
