Walkie Talkie update

You may remember my plea for donations for my friend Angela’s Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Well, the walk was this past weekend. (You may have noticed, since over 2,400 people migrated up the coast from downtown to Rogers Park and beyond.)

Angela reports that she has eight blisters (I swear, one of them looks like three on top of each other). She camped in Rogers Park during the thunderstorm, and is no worse for the wear. She said that amongst the walkers was a 75-year-old and a woman seven months pregnant. (That’s good baby karma, y’all.)

All together (including Jake and Kat and myself) Angela raised $2,300, and the walk raised $5.4 million dollars, of which $2 million has been donated to Midwest hospitals.

I haven’t actually talked to Angela yet today, but she didn’t look like she was hurting too much yesterday. She’s a champ. Three and a half woops for Angela! Whoop! Whoop! Whoop! Whoooo!
