Walk the Wish

On Friday, we had the great opportunity to walk a 5k as a family through the forest behind Chelsea's school. Her school does the walk each year to raise money for a make-a-wish type organization in Hungary called Csodalampa.  In looking at their website, there is a list of the wishes that are waiting to be fulfilled for seriously ill children. Sadly/interestingly/I don't know what.....most of the "wishes" are things American kids have and take for granted. Laptops, slides in the back yard, the means to take driver's ed at 16, portable video game systems...these are their wishes. Food for thought.

Anyway, the 3 of us plus Cade in his pack trekked through the forest with about 600 others. The first half was all uphill - it was a workout for sure! We were so proud of Chelsea - she walked the entire 3 miles without complaining or asking to be carried. It was a fun afternoon and we were happy to take part in supporting Csodalampa.
