Post by meitru »

Opening ceremony at 10 a.m. Claudia would like us to be dressed and ready for socializing and photos from 9-10 a.m. and welcome to stay after if desired. In times past for similar events we have stood at the walk's starting line and high-fived people as they start.

Face masks are not required, but please bear in mind that there may be immunocompromised/vulnerable attendees and young children attending.

Let me know if you need the boathouse for changing, otherwise this could be a parking-lot dress.

About: The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of the millions living with neurofibromatosis (NF). NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and can lead to cancer, blindness, bone abnormalities, deafness, disfigurement, learning disabilities, and excruciating and disabling pain. NF affects one in every 3,000
people, which is more than cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and Huntington’s disease combined.

I'm in! It's going to be super nice being in a troop without blazing hot temps outside.

Yep!
Plan to be there at least through 10:45 or so, we tend to send off walkers at the start line. No need to stay through the end though I just might walk it?
