Jingle Bell Run

This morning we volunteered at the Jingle Bell Run which benefited Toys for Tots. We had the pleasure of collecting toys from the race participants. Sadly, this is the only picture that I currently have.

Walk Now for Autism

Another early morning of volunteering, we were actually out before the sun. I found it funny that the golf cart had working headlights. Those lights reminded me how nice it would be to still be sleeping...



after quite a bit of standing around we were finally assigned to greeting the walkers as they arrived.



We had the task of directing them to the different registration tables depending on what they needed to do.



It's always important to stay hydrated in Arizona, especially when they are handing out free water to the volunteers.





Checking out the vendor booths after we finished volunteering.







Really great turnout this year, this is the start line about 20 minutes AFTER the walk started. It took quite a while for everyone to finally get on the walking path.

Walk to D'Feet ALS

Bright and early this morning we headed out to Scottsdale to help out at the Walk to D'Feet ALS. It was a little chilly this morning, as you can tell by the all the dew on the ground. Once that sun was up though it started to warm up pretty quickly.



We had the pleasure of working registration this morning, which allowed us the opportunity to meet a number of really nice people.





There was a pretty good turnout this year, sadly this is one of those walks that doesn't receive a great deal of attention. It would have been nice to see one of the local news channels there helping to raise awareness for ALS (aka Lou Gehrigg's Disease).


We took a moment to visit with the Phoenix Suns Gorilla after we were done with registration.

Relay for Life Buckeye

We started out the walk with checking out the Pink Heals Fire Truck. Always looking for the silly photo...Tiffany is giving directions and Brittany is driving!!




After having a little fun at the fire truck, it's time to start walking!


Always willing to stop for a picture, although you never know if it will be a serious or silly pose :)



Never willing to pass up a chance to win food Brittany and Tiffany participated in a cake walk....



Tiffany won a cake!!



Stretching a little before the cake walk rematch...



Tiffany won muffins!!



Brittany decided to try her hand at the lollipop tree, since things didn't go to well for her at the cake walk.



She won a lollipop and a bag of m&ms...yummy!



Linda joined us at the walk! Of course we visited with the Pink Heals Fire Truck when she arrived.



Edvis provided live entertainment for the walkers.



"They're playing our song!" Trying to remember the dance from the International Pageant.
