all the money they
Kathy..
all the money they raised at the event stays in "the valley" our local area... I didn't have to do any fund raising at all.. I paid 36 dollars to participate.. and they had 5500 woman registered... (its an only woman event)... and the 5k committee gets donations from local companies... Penn National bank donated 15K alone..
not sure of the inner workings.. i just thought it was impressive that they raised that much in a slumping ecconomy0 -

I walked last sunday where i live and you are so right about it being so moving and emotional. We raised over 600.000 for ours. I have a friend i have known since elementary school. He was born with an underdeveloped leg and to this day walks with a full metal brace. He walked in Dayton the other day and even though it was agonizing for him, he believed in the cause so much for me and someone else he knows who is going through bc he finished that walk. I was so amazed at his power and will and determination to raise the money he did and to actually finish. He was so proud and cried for all the survivors. He will be blessed for what he did and to do it in pain the whole time. But he didnt care, determination got him through. He is truely an angel.
take care
