I'm walking in Montreal this year with Ella, Mama and Daddy! But we also want to support the St Louis walk-a-thon so we're "virtual" walking in St Louis too. Only a kid as fast on their feet as me can walk in two countries at once! We figure our Canadian friends can help us support the Quebec organization and our American friends and family can support the ASF. Now THAT is international cooperation!
This is the first year that I'll really be WALKING at the walk-a-thon! Last year I rode in my wagon most of the way but these days, I can walk for miles. OK, maybe kilometres, or fractions thereof, but hey, I'll actually be walking for a lot of the walk! Ella will keep my seat in the wagon warm for me when I'm walking. We're just hoping there is less rain this year...last year we got VERY wet. Come join us in Montreal or watch my blog right afterwards for an instant recap!
We're really excited about the ASF conference in St Louis this year. Your support of my walk will help the ASF as they fund important research, help families get support and networking and share information to make my life the best it can be. The ASF is the most important Angelman organization in the world. Every dollar helps them do work that simply wouldn't get done if it wasn't for them, and every family with a kid like me has benefited from their work. So please, support my walk and know that you've made me smile big today!
