My personal message:
As most of you know my father was diagnosed with a grade 4 Glioblastoma over six years ago. Although we were told that we were going to lose him, he fought hard and beat the odds. He is amazing and we are so thankful to have him here with us today. Last year Joey signed us up to do this walk in honor of my dad, but it turned out a close friend was getting married that day and we decided it would have to wait.

Now as this walk approaches again we have another person were are going to be walking for. Joey's brother Vince, whom most of you know was also diagnosed with a grade 4 Glioblastoma in June of last year. It is taking it's toll and we are praying every day for yet another miracle. For those of you who don't know him personally, he is a great guy, has a beautiful wife Teresa and three kids Mayo (6), Julian (5) & Diego (2). We want nothing, more than to see him beat this and as he continues to fight I hope that you'll consider doing what you can to help the cause. More so than donating money it would be so awesome for those of you who are able to join us for the Walk and Community Day to show your support for Vince and my dad. It costs $50 per adult to enter, it's kind of expensive, but it's a tax-deductible donation and it's a great cause. Obviously, if you can't make it to the walk, any donation would be greatly appreciated

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts.

Please help support the National Brain Tumor Foundation by making a donation through my fundraising page by clicking the SPONSOR US NOW button below. BUT also know that I do not have a goal that I have to meet, although raising money for this Foundation would be awesome I am more interested in getting a bunch of us out there walking to show our support for Vince and my dad as well as to draw attention to the cause.

You can register online and join the fun! Visit http://www.firstgiving.com/AngelAdventure and click the GET STARTED button. Once registered, you can also set up your own Personal Fundraising Page. NOTE: Making a donation to my page is not the same as registering to attend the walk.

Thanks again for supporting our fundraising efforts and helping to make a difference in the fight against brain tumors! Don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! And please pray for Vince as he struggles to beat this ugly disease. Thanks so much for your love and support.

Kendra Burkett & Joey Wolfe
