Jen and I (and our families) made it through the MS walk. It was only 2.5 miles but there were a lot of steep hills! Check out the one behind us in the above picture. It felt worse than it looks and that wasnt the worst one! Thats ok, I needed the exercise. Even Steve, who walks for a living was feeling it afterward. We walked in Simsbury at the Westminster prep school. We lucked out with a beautiful day a really pretty walk. The shirts we are wearing were donated by a friend of my stepmother Sue. They read "Team Root, in memory of Sandi Root (Jens mother in law) and in honor of Sue Buck". That was really cool. Our team (9 adults and 4 kids and 2 dogs) came in 5th place for raising the most money at just about a thousand dollars. Hopefully this is something we will both continue in the future. We all had a lot of fun!

Thank you guys for doing this. Sue gave me a Team Root shirt too and I wore it in the car to be with you guys in spirit. Next year I'll walk too.
It was a pleasure walking with you guys! Such a beautiful day. Can't wait to see the totals for our team!
Ok, I kept forgetting to pledge till I saw this. I have made a pledge in your name. I did a plane pull for special olympics last weekend, It was a blast. We had teams of 5 people It took us 11 seconds to pull an eagle about 15 ft the winning team did it in 8 seconds so we werent so bad. I didnt have to get pledges the entry fee was 500.00 and our team got sponsers for that. Well you guys did a great thing.
Thanks Mary Jo! I really appreaciate it! Ive never been to a plane pull but Ive seen them in the Flagship News. That sounds really cool!
