On Friday May 4,
2012, we at the Littlest Tumor Foundation kicked off NF
awareness month with our 24-hour walk up and down College
Ave. in Appleton, Wis.
This year we started at 10 a.m.
Friday morning and walked to 10 a.m.
Saturday morning. For the course of the walk we held signs that said, “tumors
in children we do not like them,” we walked through the nice, sunny May weather
all the way to bar time with its abundance of inebriated drinkers and through
the rain that started around 2 a.m.!
The
Copper Rock provided us with a place to stay for the night as well as great coffee.
We even got a ½ page article in the Appleton Post-Crescent. Over the 24-hour
walk, 30 people joined us as we raised awareness about NF. Even some onlookers
joined us for our cause! We are dedicated to raising awareness about NF and of
course, having a little fun to. We want to say THANK YOU to all our walkers and
all of the people who gave donations. We want to especially thank the Copper
Rock coffee house who donated coffee and a place for walkers to rest between
shifts. The walk is just one of the many events that are occurring this month
to raise awareness about NF. Stay tuned for more event dates and times!
