ALS Walk

Last Saturday was the annual Walk to Defeat ALS in Bellingham.  Our Team Kooistra/Kick ALS combined with Team Strike Out ALS.   We walked for Les and in memory of Ken.  There was another team from our town representing Nelda.  We never ran into Nelda and we are very sorry about that.  How did we miss those bright pink shirts??  It was a beautiful day!

Thanks to everyone who came out to support Les.  We appreciate the continued awareness of this disease.  The Bellingham goal was $45,000 and the walk raised over $80,000.  I think the ice bucket challenges has increased awareness of ALS.

Les walked half the walk - 1.25 miles.  At the half way point he took a break and rode the scooter the rest of the way.  Pretty snazzy.  Thanks Jan!

Yes the honeymooners joined us.  We are so thankful they are home safe and sound.  They saw God working that week and were confident He was watching over them.  Prayers were answered!!
