It came as a surprise and with much disappointment that I
learned the Be The Match run/walk event has been discontinued in Phoenix.
Even though you all helped me raise over $1000 last year, it wasn’t enough for
them to return this year. However, I am very excited for another equally
worthy charity and event this year, Walk For Wishes.
I am on the Phoenix Chapter of the LGR Diversity and
Inclusion Network at Honeywell. The purpose of our chapter is to provide
professional development and networking opportunities for our Phoenix LGR
community and to engage in at least 1 community service event per year. As our
launch event, we have formed a team to Walk for Wishes on Sunday October 4,
2015 in support of Make a Wish Arizona.
As you may know, MAW grants wishes to children with
life-threatening medical conditions. Coleson will eventually be granted a
wish from this wonderful organization at a point in time he is able to decide
for himself what that wish will be. This year’s event just so happens to
fall on Coleson’s 4th birthday. I wonder what Coleson
will wish for as he’s blowing out his candle this year.
There is no cost to walk
with the team, but any and all donations are welcome! The event consists of a
3K fun run/walk and a 1 mile fun run/walk. We will incorporate some networking
before or after the event with details to follow. Please join the team and
bring your families to this great event! Unfortunately, we have tickets to go
to Michigan for fall break and unless we switch our plane tickets will not be
at the event ourselves but there are already quite a few people signed up.
