Then we walk with the other hundreds of people while looking fabulous.

I'm going to bring a parasol fo sho. I'll probably wear a floor length skirt to hide my gym shoes too. There is no way in hell I'm going to wear heels. :D

It's not like the march of dimes for example, where people give you so much depending on how many miles you go. Since it's only a 2.5 mile walk it's just a flat donation that you would be asking from people.

Awesome. I have to find out for sure if I am going to be in town that weekend (I think that might be the weekend we're visiting the in-laws), but I am interested.
