Thank you to everyone for the donations and coming out to walk with us. we had about 50 people on our walk team, about 20 of whom were Scion owners and families.

I also need to giva a special thank you to Eric for getting his company (Spectra Southwest) onboard to sponsor the team t-shirts. Also to all of the ScionApocalypse crew for everything they've done.

Jesse (some of you old-timers know him) pulled through again, cranking out the shirts on short notice and for a ridiculous price.

I had a good time and I hope you all did too. If you talk it up real big maybe we can have 75 people on our walk team next year. Be sure to tell everyone how fun it is (downplay the hot, tired, and sore part.)

Here are some pics.

the organized (non-scion) half of the team posing at the starting line. they got there early


Meghan and Carli (of the Meghan's Marauders/Carli's Crusaders Team) posing next to Meghan's pic near the starting line.


the team. I thought red shirts would stand out. Apparently everyone else did too, it was impossible to find each other in the sea of red.


Carli checking her blood sugar when we stopped for a break.


Meghan poking her finger.


Meghan putting the test strip to the blood sample. The blue thing is her insulin pump and the little tube connects it to an infusion site on her belly. This is how she gets the insulin she needs to keep her healthy. Every three days we change the site, but it will be in her 24/7, for the rest of her life.

oh yeah, nice armsock

thanks again everyone.

Remember, the poker run is coming up, so there is a perfect opportunity to give what you can for these kids.

I expect to see a lot more of you scion owners out there next year.
