National Kidney Foundation

The day finally arrived.....the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Kidney Walk was held this morning and we had a great time! As you know, Mike and I had fundraised for the March of Dimes organization for the past five years as a part of his company's Houston office. Now that Mike transfered to the SF office, he's a part of a team to help boost the cultural aspect of the firm. They made the decision to participate in the NKF Kidney Walk for many reasons. Team Hall raised $2,000 thanks to your generous support (THANK YOU!) and his company, Alvarez & Marsal, raised $12,000!!!


Toby and Bella joined us for their very first charity walk. Unlike Houston, SF is very pet friendly anywhere you go. So the pup duo wouldn't feel left out, we made them shirts like the ones we wore....$5 Hobby Lobby t-shirts, iron-on decals from Office Depot, a printer, and an iron were all that was needed for this lil' project!

Toby looks sleepy and Bella looks worried in this photo. I wish I knew what they were thinking...

Here's a shot of all of the teams who participated in the walk.

Team Alvarez & Marsal (minus a few folks)

Mike won a raffle prize...a children's bike, which he generously gave to a co-worker with a young boy. How come I never win raffles? :)
