Record Turnout for Team Kasey at 2008 Arthritis Walk

Your support for Team Kasey helped raise over $8,415 in donations to the Arthritis Foundation--Over a thousand dollars more than in 2007! Hopefully, the combined contributions from our team and many teams across the nation will provide the necessary medical research to help our little girl and hundreds of thousands of those with arthritis be pain free.

When we thought that forty five people who joined us in 2007 was a lot, amazingly, 90 people and four dogs showed up to walk with Kasey. I had to count people in the team photo three times to get an accurate number.

Joining us were Deb and Chris' colleagues from St. Mary's and Omnipress, friends who drove down from the Twin Cities, a great bunch of neighbors, friends from daycare, a ton of relatives up from Janesville and even "Pop Pop" (Deb's father) flew in for the walk and celebration.

The day started with the walk, but festivities continued at our home including: kid jumpers, bocce ball, kick ball, tons a food, a huge fireworks display and we closed it down with live music and a campfire--I am not sure what time it was.

It's amazing to see so many people take time out of their day. We are very fortunate to be surrounded by such caring and fun people. Please enjoy photos from this great day and we hope for your support again next year.
