A personal story....
We walk because sometimes bad things happen to good people.
 
I brought my 64-year-old grandmother and my mom to the walk because until now we haven't had a way to show our undying love for my aunt Lisa, my grandmother's daughter and my mom's sister.  She died when she was 28, leaving behind her 9-year-old daughter and now 3 grandchildren she's never met, at least not yet.
 
My grandmother is the most kind-hearted, giving person I have ever known.  She raised all of us children including my aunt's daughter after her death.  
 
My mom walked 2 miles with a broken back, fractured in an accident in January.  She walks because her sister can't walk anymore.  
 
My 64-year-old grandma walked that 2 miles like she was 20 and I've never been more proud.  She walks because her daughter can't walk anymore.
 
I know my aunt has never been more proud and couldn't have been brighter in Heaven that day. Thank you for that opportunity.
