Saturday, April 6th 2013 was The Miles for Hope
Walk. The day started early in the morning with setup and pictures.
The team helped with registration, and the royalty gave Superman tattoos in
honor of Dalton Andrew, who we meet at the walk last year. Dalton passed away
March 29, 2013. We used the tattoos to show our support to his family and
friends. Before the race started, we joined the runners doing stretches. Then
our lead Queen Ali, gave the starting
signal to the race. As they crossed the
starting line, we cheered them on, and then a while later we cheered them on as
they crossed the finish line. When everyone returned, Nicole, May,
and Nikohl handed out awards for the largest amount of money raised in a team.
Also Dalton’s mom let a balloon up to heaven for him. There was a minute
when it looked like that balloon would get stuck in the trees but it snuck
through and the whole crowd cheered! This year’s ambassador gave a speech about
his journey with this terrible disease. Then, all the survivors came up and
shared their stories. Last, we lead the way for the survivor walk.
We helped to disassemble and put away things and went home. This walk was
very inspirational and had great meaning to all of us and we can’t wait to be
back next year!
Crusaders Royalty,
Kathleen
