Our personal message:

This all started when my aunt passed away in May 2003. When she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it slowly spread to every organ and cell in her body taking her bodily functions, brain, appetite, but not her sense of humor.

Anyone who knows someone who died from cancer knows it is a slow and painful death. Through this very painful, sad, and tiring experience before and after death, we got a chance to be involved w/ some amazing people. We are speaking about Old Colony Hospice. I am not a BIG advocate for people charities (not to say I won't help), however this was truly a life altering experience. I believe it was because of hospice that my aunt found the will to let go, die happy, and move to a better place. It was because of hospice, she was made comfortable and had peace of mind.  This year we have 5 sub-team pages for this walk, and we are sooo excited.  Please check our pics from lst year....

Last year we managed to gather a GREAT team of 20+, raise $4000, get t-shirts sponsored & printed all within 2 weeks time.  And surprising we place #3 in most fundraising & #2 most enthusiastic.  PLEASE help our team be #1 this year and help this GREAT non-profit organization.
