Walk Far for NAAR

[patgund]

Hello everyone.

This is just a quick reminder that I'll be walking, (okay, with my knee right now, limping), in this Saturday's "Walk Far for NAAR" in San Diego, a 2 mile / 3.22 km fun walk to raise money for Autism research.

As many of you know, Little Bit's 17 year old half-brother, is a high functioning autistic. I also have a nephew who's HF autistic as well, and friends with children who are either HF autistic or PDD-NOS. I figure I can donate some time and shoe leather towards raising money for autism research. I'll be walking with the team from the San Diego Star Wars Society.

And yes, I'm hitting people up for donations. If you want to donate, either email me, or use the on-line donation form at:

I've got some donations already, but any amount that anyone wants to give is more than welcome.

Thanks!

Things to remember:
Take Ibuprofen before you start the walk
Wear an ace bandage for your knee
Drink lots of water
Wear sunscreen
You are doing something good. Walk (or if needed limp) proudly.

I sent in my donation. Good luck with the walk.

Thank you dear - for the advice, and the donation. I'm planning to wear the brace and *then* wrap it as well. Sunscreen and water are already set. And, unless the doctor gives me something stronger tomorrow, I was going to take ibuprofen before I leave for the walk.

I may spend the rest of the day in a nice air conditioned theatre afterwards though. :-)
