He is the son of my cousin John and his wife Veronica. He is an absolute joy to be around, however they live in Suffolk, Virgina so I haven't been blessed to be around him much yet. He was at our wedding if anyone remembers a baby from our wedding. John was one of my bridesmen.
Anyways, the walk was amazing. I signed up to form a team and raise money. I thought $200 was a good goal for our team. We hit that, so I raised our team goal to $500 and I thought that would be a great goal and would be a challenge for our team. I dont know the final count but confirmed we have raised $815 and I know we turned in another $105 that was raised from the wonderful Star Wars group that raised money for us as well. A friend of Mom's that she works with Kari, is involved with a group who dresses as Star Wars characters and goes around for causes and raises money for community events. Just by taking pictures with people they helped us raise an additional $105 while at the walk. I can not thank them enough!
This is Team Evan, minus a few!
It was truly an amazing experience. I can't wait until next years walk. My first goal for the team is going to be $1000. I think if we hit $900 our first year we can for sure hit $1000. our second! I am going to start early and try to get more involvement. I've already had people tell me they want to help next year, which is a wonderful feeling. There were 270 walk teams total. It was just an overwhelming experience, I can't explain. So many wonderful people at one place.
