Diabetes Walk at Lakeland Park

Today was the first ever Diabetes walk at Lakeland Park in Canton, IL. Walks in the past have been held in Peoria and even Bloomington... but never Canton. Thanks to Terrah Cornell, she managed to get a walk organized for Canton! I hope we had a big enough turn out that it will be held there every year!

I feel this walk is very important b/c I know so many people who are affected by diabetes every year! My grandma is a diabetic and has been for about 40yrs. Terrah, the coordinator, is also diabetic and has been for 27yrs (and she is my age)! Terrah's sister, is a diabetic. Terrah's mom was a diabetic and died at a very young age... which is where they got the team name from "Linnea's Legacy".

When we first got there, we got registered. Next was lunch. They had lots of treats and snacks there for us to eat. Courtney really enjoyed the pizza...


Grandpa J and Grandma J were there to help with the girls and walk for a good cause...


Madison was pushing Cadie around in the stroller so we could finish eating our lunch...

Mackenzie pushed Courtney around in her stroller...


Rhonda B. was there with her adorable grandbaby! Rhonda works at the school with Gma J...


This is my dear friend Kay. Kay keeps me sane. Kay is so generous to everyone! Kay hates it when I whip out my camera and try to take her pic!


Cadie decided she was "flying" as we were walking...


Mackenzie put Courntey to sleep as she walked with her...


No getting Cadie to sleep....


Since Courtney was asleep, I decided to load them up in the van and take them home. Kind of cut my walk short, but by time I was home, I could have used a nap too!
