Sunday Scribbling - What's Awesome About You?
This Saturday I did my first ALS walk. This event is a good way to show off my better attributes. I read this weeks prompt and was thrown for a loop. How do you write what's great about yourself without sounding like you're all that and a bag of chips? After this event I thought the timing for this prompt was perfect. I'm hoping it shows I'm lovable, a survivor and one lucky lady. The blog community, my friend's and family helped me to raise over $2000. This event made my heart soar! Who knew my journey, in my own words, could touch people all over the world. We received donations from Australia, France, Canada and all over the US. We did it WARRIORS!
Do you recognize this blogger? Annie and her family raised over $300. You can never convince me blog friends are not real friends. 
How about this blogger? Amber and her family walked on my team. Blog friends are beautiful and I fell for Wyatt. What a great kid! Georgie was shy but shined up on her daddy's shoulders.
I walked for 5 minutes and then went to my wheelchair, but at least I gave it all I had. Tenacity!
These are my friend's and family who walked by my side. If you zoom in you can see my friend Pam. I walked for her, since ALS has not been kind to her this summer. (In photo on banner) I also walked in memory of my dear friend Helen, who lost her battle with ALS. (written in lower left corner). Hopefully they think of me as a loyal friend.I'll get a full team shot and share when it comes out. I also have more fun shots for Wednesday. We had 25 walkers. ;)

And yes...that is pretty awesome!

My heart is soaring for you!
You are all that and a bag-o-chips! The really good chips. ;)
We had fun! Thank you. We had a talk on the way home with Wyatt about how important it is to keep fighting when life gives you hard things, like your ALS...It was a great talk. An important "learning" moment, and you were a real life "hero" example. :)

We had so much fun Tammy. What a blast. Even my quiet Don had something to say about the day. Once we were through the traffic and on the freeway heading home, Don said, "That was a really nice day." Mr. Spontaneous doesn't usually pop out with comments like that. LOL
Hugs,
Annie
You look great in the photos, Tammy. You seem so strong and vibrant, like the warrior you are!

Blog friends are really real. This is a great post.
Congratulations, Tammy! You should be so proud to have raised so much money for ALS AND being in the walk, wheeling or otherwise! I loved looking at you and all your friends, it was inspiring.

You all remind me of the Verizon commercial with the "team" always behind the Verizon guy.
What is awesome about you? YOU share the credit with your TEAM!

This is truly something to brag about. What's even more awesome than your participation in the walk is your ability to win friends and influence all of us by your courage and dedication.
