We've been busy with charity this month. After a long summer of ridiculous heat it seems like all of our favorite charities decided to wait until October to host events.
Our softball team (that had previously won won game in two seasons) played in a charity tournament for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We have a leukemia survivor on our Team and it is a great cause. We went in to the double elimination tournament thinking we'd be done before noon. Ended up making it to the semifinals and were relieved (and extremely beat up) when we finally got eliminated.
The following weekend we did a walk for Alzheimer's. It was only a mile and zipped right by - very heart wrenching to see the people who have been affected by it and heart warming to see those that are fighting for a cure.
This weekend was our yearly 5K walk for mental illness - we still didn't end up walking the complete 5K but it wasn't our fault this year. Last year the organizers gave our Team a map and asked us to lead the walk - it didn't go well, there was an area under construction and we chose a different route - ended up leading everyone astray. This year they had people stationed to show us where to go and we still ended up at only around a mile. At least it was for a good cause.
