I have a new goal.
For those of you that know me, I don't say things unless I plan to follow through. A little hard headed, I guess. Next year, I plan to be the first one to host the "Concour Chiari Walk Accross America" walk in Arizona. This year 30 states will be represented. Next year there will be at least 31 states represented. So get in shape and get your walking shoes ready! I will be walking or riding in my wheelchair for the walk next year.

Conquer Chiari Walk Across America
WHAT? A series of coordinated Chiari walks held at the same time across the country.
WHERE? It is our goal to have at least one walk in each of the 50 states. This year we have 30 walk locations.
WHEN? Saturday September 18th, 2010. September has been named Chiari Awareness Month in several states. In conjunction with the Walk Across America we hope to get more states to recognize September as Chiari Awareness Month.
WHY? To raise awareness of Chiari; to raise money for vital research; and to get people involved.
In 2010 it is our goal to raise at least $300,000 for research. In 2009, more than $250,000 was raised with 90% of the money going directly to fund exciting, new research projects.
