“It was wet, but wonderful,” Reid said. “Our walker’s are making a difference as the March of Dimes continues to fight for the day when all babies will be born healthy. We can’t do it without their help, and the turnout we had in the midst of a rainy morning this year shows that they are ready to help.”
Current figures show the walk coming $9,000 short of its 2010 goal, but Reid is optimistic that amount will be covered once all the totals are in.
“We have a few team who got a late start who have asked for more time to raise money,” Reid said. “And our online funding challenge continues through May 7, with a week’s vacation at Cancun on the line.”
