Light the Night


Cardon Healthcare, where Nelson works, joined in the Light the Night Walk, for Leukemia on Sunday night. Since Nelson works in the administrative offices, we felt obligated to attend and walk the 2 miles. It was suppose to start at 7pm, but didnt actually start until 7:30-7:45....there were thousands of people, and we were ushered to stay on the sidewalks, not the street......yeah! You'd think it would have been a little better set up. It was super croweded, you could barely walk, much less for a whole 2 miles. Our kids normally go to bed at 8pm, so they were tired, hungry, and cranky....besides the baby needed to be fed. So needless to say, we walked about 1/4 of mile and turned towards the car....yes....how awful are we that we skipped out on a benefit walk for sick kids. I felt a little guilty, but what can we say? It was so late....we were pooped! At least we were there for a little bit!
It is a great cause and great charity. With or without our walking contribution.
