I've been attending the Walk in Chicago since I can remember. Here, it's 6 miles along the lake, so it's usually really nice! They're a lot of fun, lots of food, and entertainment.
Last year was the first year I got a team together-usually it's just my entire family that comes, but I invited more of my friends and it was my boyfriend's first walk. We put a team together, raised over $1,000, and made team shirts. Of course when we got there, it was 40 degrees and freezing, so no one could see our shirts because we were all bundled up, but it was still fun!
This year it's on May 18th for Chicago and I am planning on going and I've collected about $650 so far, I'm excited!
