Walk Talk

When Rudy was excited he did his "Happy Dance."  I am sure he is doing it right now up in heaven.
The response for this year's Kidney Walk for the NKF has been amazing.  In fact, it's a bit overwhelming!
Friends, family, neighbors, co-workers and even some strangers have signed on to walk for Team Rudy.
One of the 10 year old team members made bracelets to sell so she could donate money to the NKF.  Hearing that story brought tears to Mommy's eyes.  It is a beautiful example of how caring people are and how much Rudy has touched lives.
Rudy's Little Walkers will have 33 members!  Mommy and Daddy have participated in the walk for many years and they don't remember seeing a team as big as ours.  What a wonderful tribute.
Both children and adults are honoring Rudy's memory and supporting a cause very important to him and his family on Saturday, October 12 at Thomson Reuters campus in Eagan.
Not only have we had a wonderful response from walkers, but donations from all over the country have made their way here so we know they are supporting the team and the NKF in spirit.  At the time this blog was written - we are just over $1000.00!  WOW!  If I could do the Happy Dance, I sure would.  I am a little to tall to do it like Rudy.  He had a way of bouncing and balancing on his back feet better then anyone else.  I will run around in circles chasing my tail.  I will call that my "Happy Dance" in honor of Rudy and his "Happy Dance."  I think Rudy would approve.
The only things we have left to worry about are weather and everyone making it to the event.  Neither of these are in our control.  (Tell Mommy that, she worries about everything!)  Thanks to everyone for the unbelievable outreach and support.
Love,
